**CITY OF TIMMINS MEDIA RELEASE**

The City of Timmins is pleased to announce a new sponsorship agreement, bringing water refill stations to the festival grounds during this year’s Stars and Thunder.
MNP has directly contracted the Quench Buggy, who will be providing one four-spigot water refill station in the VIP area and one eight-spigot refill station in the General Admission area. With the addition of these refill stations, the City of Timmins will allow CLEAR, EMPTY, PLASTIC BOTTLES into the park.
“Some of the feedback we received from last year’s event included the need for water refill stations within the festival grounds,” said Timmins CAO Dave Landers. “We are very happy about this new partnership with MNP, and grateful to be able to provide free potable water at this year’s event.”
