Wish Lanterns will fly on friday

This event definitely caught our attention. Since it's our first time to witness this much of sky lanterns released into the air. Could be the best if we are able to secure even 1 lantern, unfortunately there were 1,000 people quicker than us. Nonetheless, we can still go to the event with or without a lantern. Well, I can still bring one, a standout one but the organizers discourage the idea. Booo! As always; food  will be the main attraction at least for me... ask Mai.

What: Sky lantern fest (1,000 wish lanterns will fly)

When: November 11, 2011 at 11.11pm (you wish to be there around 10:00pm)

Where: BANCHETTO-MEGATENT along Meralco Avenue, Ortigas Center, between the Renaissance    Towers & the depED building very near St Paul's Pasig & Ultra.

Below is the press release on their multiply site: Banchetto sky lantern fest

Wish Lanterns are the equivalent of mini hot air balloons. When released into the night sky the person releasing the lantern will traditionally make a wish for the future.

Wish Lanterns ® are 100% biodegradable, non-flammable, safe, and easy to use, creates an amazing visual effect that adds enjoyment and wonder to any special occasion. All you have to do is light the fuel cell, wait for the lanterns to fill up with hot air and then let go. You, your family and your guests will gaze as the Wish Lantern floats up to the sky. The Wish Lantern will be in the air for about 12 minutes and goes up over a mile in to the night sky!

We will release the WISH LANTERNS into the air all at the same time at exactly 11.11pm. Please bring your whole family with you and experience making a wish altogether as a family. Be there at 10pm so you can still write down your wishes in the wishing paper.

At this time, we would like to know who amongst you are interested to join us so we can order the equivalent number of WISH LANTERNS from our supplier.

We did a similar activity in BANCHETTO-FORUM during the Chinese New Year this year, and it really helped a lot in increasing the right chi, the right PROSPERITY Energy, everyone have attracted after.

The WISH LANTERNS costs Php 100 each - it comes with a wishing paper and a small candle.

To RESERVE A LANTERN, please email us your FULL NAME, CONTACT NO., NO. of LANTERNS and send it to info.banchetto@gmail.com. Lanterns will be claimed at the Banchetto MEGATENT Information Booth on Friday from 8pm-11pm.
Please note that only reservations made thru email will be counted. Lanterns will also be sold at the venue on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS. Deadline for reservations will be on Friday at 12 noon. Thank you!

Still wishing that we could bring our own lantern :)
