Sun Country Airlines and Bachmans have partnered to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day by handing out complimentary bouquets to all mothers who fly Sun Country. The bouquets, sponsored by these two Minnesota–based companies, will be handed out at the Humphrey Terminal in Minneapolis/St. Paul on Sunday, May 11th.
"We're excited to partner with another great Minnesota company, Bachmans, on such a commemorative day," said Wendy Williams
Blackshaw, Vice President of Marketing for Sun Country. "What better way to celebrate a mom's special day than brightening
it with a beautiful bouquet of flowers."
Bachmans has created a special
bouquet for the event, consisting of alstroemeria, pink carnations, dianthus, spray roses, mini carnations, and spray
mums. Sun Country employees will be handing out the bouquets to passengers prior to their departure/after their arrival
at the Humphrey Terminal.
"We're thrilled to honor moms traveling today on Sun Country Airlines with fresh, spring bouquets," said Paul Bachman, Vice
President of Marketing, Merchandising and Store Operations at Bachmans. "Of course, moms deserve recognition for what
they do every day of the year, but on Mother's Day especially, Bachmans takes tremendous pride in designing beautiful
arrangements for them."
