Day Sweepstakes |
Cypress, CA (2/28/2012)
-Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., the leading maker
of ATV and Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles for outdoor
enthusiasts, has selected its 2011 National Hunting
and Fishing (NHF) Day sweepstakes winner.
As part of Yamaha’s ongoing support of
NHF Day, the company will give a new
Grizzly 450 Automatic 4x4 ATV to Adam Penton
of Greeley, Colorado. Mr.
Penton was one of more than 26,000 people who
entered in the 2011 ATV
sweepstakes. As an ongoing sponsor of NHF Day,
Yamaha has aggressively
supported the grassroots effort by donating
one of its best-selling ATV
models each year as a giveaway.
The Grizzly 450 ATV, valued at $6,899, is assembled
right here in the
U.S.A. Yamaha is currently implementing a production
transfer through the
end of 2013 which will result in the majority
of its worldwide ATV
production being based in the United States.
Currently, all Yamaha 4x4
ATVs are rolling off the production line in
the company’s state-of-the-art
facility, Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation,
in Newnan, Georgia.
“Yamaha is pleased to continue our support
for National Hunting and Fishing
Day and grow our participation in the outdoors
community through such great
programs and partnerships,” said Steve
Nessl, marketing manager for
Yamaha’s ATV/SxS group. “As the
leading ATV manufacturer for hunting and
fishing enthusiasts, Yamaha supports a number
of conservation- and
education-minded organizations like NHF Day.
Congratulations to this
year’s ATV winner, and we hope he will
enjoy many years of hunting and
fishing with his new Grizzly.”
NHF
Day falls on the fourth Saturday of September
each year and serves as the most effective grassroots
effort ever taken to promote outdoor sports
and conservation. Yamaha, through its relationships
with organizations such as Ducks Unlimited,
Safari Club International, Buckmasters, NWTF,
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and NHF Day, among
others, is the leading ATV & SxS supporter
of conservation efforts for outdoor enthusiasts.
“We’re thrilled to have Yamaha
on for another year of support,” said
Misty Mitchell of Wonders of Wildlife museum
in Springfield, Mo. -- the official home of
NHF Day. “The ATV giveaway has been a
huge hit amongst NHF Day participants and we
look forward to another great turnout at this
year’s events nationwide.”
