Polaris® to Host Official
‘RANGER Country USA’ Celebration and Donate RANGER®
Vehicles
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.
