Chester Fall Bash Live Event Production
Overview
The Chester Volunteer Fire Department hosts an annual Fall Bash fundraiser that combines a large in-person audience with thousands of online participants. MediaQuest partnered with Chester VFD to deliver a hybrid event production that seamlessly connected the live crowd with viewers watching remotely.
Our role was to design and manage a reliable live streaming and AV solution that supported real-time raffle drawings, live announcements, and continuous audience engagement throughout the event.
Challenge and solution
The Fall Bash presents unique technical demands. The event runs for extended hours, includes frequent prize drawings, and must remain accessible to both on-site attendees and remote viewers.
MediaQuest provided a turnkey hybrid event production system tailored to the needs of a large-scale fundraiser. The production included multi-camera live video coverage, live switching for dynamic presentation, large screen displays for in-person attendees, professional audio reinforcement for presenters and announcements, and stable live streaming distribution for remote viewers.
This setup allowed the event to function smoothly for both audiences while keeping the focus on engagement and fundraising.
FINAL DELIVERABLES
Following the event, MediaQuest delivered a fully produced live hybrid broadcast, archived video footage for future use, same-day access to recorded content for on-demand viewing. This allowed Chester VFD to extend the life of the event beyond the live broadcast and continue engaging supporters.
