IFEA MASKS AVAILABLE - GET YOURS TODAY AND SUPPORT THE IFEA! |
|
Here at the IFEA, we’re continuing to do our best to help speed the return of festivals and events to their full operating capacity, while working to protect the health and safety of those all around. We believe that wearing a face mask will be a part of the ongoing risk management requirements and expectations for some time to come, and wanted to offer some fun and festive masks of our own with elements of the industry.
As a result, we have partnered with long-time IFEA Member Steve Thomson with Dynamic Displays/ Fabulous Inflatables, and his new company Maskcott, to create IFEA branded face masks for purchase. Your mask purchase helps the IFEA to raise funds for much-needed programs and services and serves as a vivid reminder and show of support to others that while our industry may be at a temporary standstill, it is not to be forgotten.

|
3 Sizes / Elastic Ear or Head Loop Bands Available.
Masks are: 100% cotton weave interior, polyester blend exterior; Hand-sewn in Canada; Reusable; Washable.
