Imperial Toy Sponsors Christian Student Fellowship of University of Kentucky in Their Winning Efforts to Reclaim the Record for World's Largest Water Balloon Fight on August 28th, 2010!

NORTH HILLS, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 153,497 Imperial Toy Water Splashers water balloons were thrown by over 5,976 Lexington residents and members of UK and CSF, in their winning efforts to reclaim the title of World's Largest Water Balloon Fight.

In 2009 UK, CSF and Lexington residents originally broke the record for the World's Largest Water Balloon Fight, only to be overtaken 11 months later by Brigham Young University with 120,021 balloons and 3,927 students. Water Splashers water balloons were provided by Imperial Toy for both 2010 UK and BYU events.

"Imperial Toy applauds the UK and CSF community for reclaiming the record for the world's largest water balloon fight," says Imperial SVP Marketing, Tim Thompson. "Imperial is proud to co-sponsor an event bringing a community together while being active outdoors."

"CSF's partnership with Imperial Toy gave us a great opportunity to welcome students to UK and connect to the people of campus in a really cool way -- by breaking a world record during the opening week of school." - Brian Marshall, Director, CSF
