Official Naming Celebration Featured a Performance and Three New RANGER®
Vehicle Donations
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Polaris®, the industry leader in off-road vehicles, awarded Pinedale,
Wyoming, with the title of “RANGER Country™ USA,” and hosted a
celebration for residents of Sublette County with a performance by
country music superstar, Jake Owen. During the April 12 event, Polaris
unveiled a “RANGER Country™ USA” mural depicting the RANGER-lifestyle
embodied by Pinedale that will live at town hall along with donations of
the all-new RANGER CREW XP 1000 to Tip Top Search and Rescue,
M.E.S.A. Therapeutic Horsemanship and Boy Scouts of America, Pinedale.
“I can’t thank Pinedale and Polaris enough for having me be part of
their RANGER Country USA celebration,” said Owen. “I am honored
to have been part of this program that pays tribute to my people, small
town Americans. I hope the residents of Pinedale had as much fun as I
did last night.”
“We are honored to have celebrated Pinedale and award them with their
well-deserved RANGER Country USA title,” said Kyle Duea, vice
president Off-Road Marketing at Polaris. “RANGER Country USA
represents the thousands of small towns and Americans that helped us
reach the one-million RANGER milestone. We hope to
continue building on this campaign and pay homage to hardworking
Americans.”
To celebrate building its one-millionth RANGER utility
side-by-side vehicle, Polaris kicked off the search for “RANGER Country
USA” with country music star Jake Owen. The two-month campaign featured
video profiles devoted to five small towns from across the United
States, including Pinedale, and asked consumers to vote for the town
they believed was most-deserving of the title. After three weeks of
voting, Pinedale, Wyoming, was voted “RANGER Country USA.”
Corning, Arkansas; Darlington, Wisconsin; Spring Creek, Nevada; and
Stephenville, Texas were among the four other towns vying for the title
and were awarded for their participation in the campaign with three RANGER
vehicle donations.
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 2019 RANGER CREW® XP 1000 represents
the culmination of nearly two decades of innovation.
