Osceola County, Florida - That is the message that tourists and locals driving on U.S. Hwy 192 now see. One hundred and sixty new banners, celebrating sports in Kissimmee, grace the light posts along the tourist corridor of West Hwy 192. Presently, hundreds of thousands of people engage in athletic competitions in Osceola County. As we position ourselves to host even more sporting events, with new ball fields being built at ChampionsGate and Harmony, we want the streets to reflect our goal of becoming the "Amateur Sports Capital of America."
The colorful banners depict athletes in silhouette engaged in the sports you will find throughout Osceola County. There are six designs depicting a golfer, a fisherman, a rodeo rider, and baseball, basketball, and soccer players. The silhouettes also represent the universality of athletes and not one targeted demographic. The banners' design and production were sponsored by Fun Spot Attractions and approved through the West 192 Redevelopment Advisory Board.
We are known for our hospitality, and the banners are a way to tell athletes and their families that Osceola County welcomes them.
These banners are contracted in one year increments. If any 192 business is interested in sponsoring the banners, please contact Hector Lizasuain for more information at hliz@osceola.org or (407) 962-1327.
