    Kinetic Kool-Aid

    cover

    Recently, we went to Hastings, Neb., the birthplace of Kool-Aid, for its annual celebration of the drink mix. The annual Kool-Aid Days festival was filled with great times, great laughs and, of course, tons of Kool-Aid!

     

    From Aug. 10 to 12, Hastings was abuzz with fun for the whole family. Boat races, a pageant, solar observances, watermelon stress tests, a 5K run, a parade, the world’s largest Kool-Aid stand, a concert and more, making the weekend one for the books!

    While enjoying everything the festival had to offer, Kool-Aid lovers had the opportunity to experience another sweet treat: Windstream’s Kinetic products. All day, people were lined up for their chance to win BIG at our booth and prize wheel. We even added 29 new Kinetic customers!

     

    The Kinetic brand encompasses the following product suite:
