Yamaha Grizzly 550 FI ATV |
Cypress, CA (12/16/2008) - Yamaha
Motor Corp., U.S.A., the leading maker of ATV
and Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles for outdoorsmen,
is pleased to announce the winner of the 2008
National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHFD) sweepstakes.
Yamaha congratulates Christine Baldwin from Spokane,
Wash., for winning the all-new 2009 Yamaha Grizzly
550 FI ATV. Baldwin’s name was selected
by random drawing out of more than 13,000 entries.
“Yamaha is an outspoken and continued
supporter of responsible land use and conservation,
whether for hunting, fishing, or simply riding
ATVs, and we’re working to make a lasting
impact in preserving the heritage of these activities,”
said Steve Nessl, Yamaha ATV/SxS group marketing
manager. “Yamaha is proud to sponsor National
Hunting & Fishing Day and we congratulate
Christine Baldwin for winning the Grizzly 550
FI ATV.”
Yamaha, which also has longstanding relationships
with organizations such as Ducks Unlimited,
Safari Club International and Buckmasters, is
the first ATV and SxS manufacturer to sponsor
NHFD. Yamaha and NHFD created the ATV sweepstakes
to help promote and grow the celebration in
2008. This was the biggest year for NHFD, which
enjoyed a 32 percent increase in the number
of registered events and a 44 percent increase
in the number of states participating.
The 2008 NHFD celebration took place on Saturday,
September 27, across the nation with participation
from more than 46 states. Formalized by Congress
as a public reminder that hunters, anglers and
shooters are America’s premier conservation
supporters – generating $100,000 every
30 minutes for fish, wildlife and habitat programs
– the annual event provided an opportunity
to introduce new participants to outdoor recreational
sports, increase the availability of events
for those already interested in participating,
and show the nation the impact these activities
have on efforts toward conservation
