Rod Trowbridge Memorial Fly-In

Inspired by the 2020 passing of Rod Trowbridge, the first annual Rod Trowbridge Memorial Fly-In was a community event put on to honor the lives lost through the Covid-19 pandemic. After a year of no events or gathering, the Trowbridge family wanted to put on a free community event featuring some of Rod’s favorite activities, like music, motorcycles, and the main event, airplanes. Rod’s plane was the inspiration behind the event logo, featuring his own plane and even including the tail number. Being that this was the first annual event, everything was created from the ground up, name, logo, branding and social media accounts. The process from artwork creation to production was streamlined with my ability to create the design and print, engrave, and screen print all in house through Midwest Single Source. A new Facebook page was created for the Fly-In as well as individual events for all the different activities. The Facebook grew to 238 likes in one month with a reach of over 15,000. Whereas the event pages had a combined reach of 13,073.
