Polaris® to Host Official ‘RANGER
Country USA’ Celebration and Donate RANGER®
Vehicles
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
After three weeks of voting, Polaris® will award Pinedale,
Wyoming, with the title of “RANGER Country™ USA.” Located in
west-central Wyoming, the town secured the most votes to win the title.
To commemorate the RANGER-lifestyle embodied by Pinedale, Polaris
will host a RANGER Country USA party which will include an
official naming ceremony, donation of three Polaris RANGER®
vehicles to deserving organizations and a special guest appearance.
Polaris also will award the other four towns that participated in the
campaign by donating three Polaris RANGER vehicles to local
organizations.
This past fall, Polaris rolled its one-millionth RANGER utility
side-by-side vehicle off the assembly line at its manufacturing facility
in its Huntsville, Alabama. To commemorate this significant milestone,
Polaris began a search for “RANGER Country USA” with country
music star Jake Owen. The national campaign asked consumers to visit
rangercountryusa.com and vote for the town they believed was
most-deserving. Video profiles devoted to each town, showcasing the
beauty of the land and the authenticity of the people were featured on
the site. Corning, Arkansas; Darlington, Wisconsin; Spring Creek,
Nevada; and Stephenville, Texas were among the four other towns vying
for the title.
“All five of these towns embody the essence and hard-working values of RANGER
and represent the RANGER country lifestyle,” said Kyle Duea,
Marketing Vice President of Off-Road Vehicles. “In the eyes of Americans
across the nation, Pinedale stood out as the town most deserving of the
title ‘RANGER Country USA’ for helping us achieve our
one-millionth milestone.”
Everyone who casted a vote as a part of the “RANGER Country USA”
campaign was automatically entered for the chance to win an all-new 2018
Polaris RANGER XP 1000.
“I’ve said it from the beginning, as a guy from a small-town, these are
my people and I could not be prouder to be a part of an initiative
recognizing hard-working Americans across the nation,” said Owen. “All
said and done, Pinedale won the title and I cannot wait to see what
Polaris has in store for the celebration!”
Touted as “all the civilization you need,” Pinedale has a rich “mountain
man” heritage, celebrated every July at the Green River Rendezvous,
where the history of early American fur traders, trappers, and Native
Americans is relived. With a population of 1,895, the town serves as a
gateway to Wyoming’s famed Jackson Hole area, where residents and
tourist alike enjoy the breathtaking scenery, hunting, skiing and
wildlife viewing that the three surrounding mountain ranges provide.
Since its introduction in 1998, Polaris RANGER has continuously
set the standard for utility side-by-side vehicles with its
industry-leading capabilities. With over one-hundred owner-inspired
improvements, the all-new 2018 RANGER XP 1000 represents the
culmination of nearly two decades of innovation.
