I designed this inflatable to take to events to help educate the public about 811, Call Before You Dig. I wanted him to resemble a smart phone with symbols of possible digging situation apps on the face.
We held a contest at El Paso to name "Dig Safe Sam". His first public appearance was at a company meeting at the Hyatt in Houston. He later appeared at the Red Cross, Ready When the Time Comes, event in front of city hall.
