Sun Country Airlines and Bachman’s 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, Bachman’s, 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 then brightening it with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.”

Bachman’s has created a special bouquet for the event, consisting of alstroemeria, pink carnations, dianthus, spray roses, mini carnations, spray mums, and button palms. 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 Bachman’s. “Of course moms deserve recognition for what they do every day of the year, but on Mother’s Day especially, Bachman’s takes tremendous pride in designing beautiful arrangements for them.”
