Imperial Toy will sponsor a campus-wide water balloon battle at the University of Kentucky, hosted by the school’s Christian Student Fellowship (CSF). The toymaker will provide 350,000 of its Kaos water balloons, and the university is anticipating 15,000 people to attend.
CSF successfully broke the record for the largest water balloon fight in 2009 and 2011, receiving certificates from the Guinness Book of World Records each time. Its largest battle consisted of 11,622 participants and involved 236,484 water balloons.
“Our Kaos water balloons are a huge portion of our outdoor business and we love getting involved in community events,” says Art Hirsch, the president of Imperial Toy. “We can’t wait to see the turnout for 2015, and are aiming to again, break the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest water balloon fight.”
The water balloon battle is scheduled for August 28 at 9 p.m., and will take place at Johnson Center Field in Lexington, Ky.
