The members of
the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (Arctic Cat, BRP,
Polaris and Yamaha) join the organized snowmobile community in announcing the
Take a Friend Snowmobiling Contest for 2012. State snowmobile association members
of the American Council of Snowmobile Association (ACSA) are eligible to win a
$5,000 cash prize by sponsoring Take a Friend Snowmobiling activities
throughout their states.
Contest events
can be held any time between Jan. 1, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The contest forms
are self explanatory and are available on the www.gosnowmobiling.org website. (Just
click on the Take a Friend Snowmobiling logo.)
The event was
created to support all snowmobile associations of ACSA and their clubs to
enhance and expand their partnership with local chambers of commerce, visitor
and convention bureaus, snowmobile dealers and other businesses related to the
snowmobiling community.
The benefits of
winning the $5,000 prize for your state association could mean such things as
more trail signs, groomers and enhancements for trails in your state, with the
biggest benefit of all: introducing your non-snowmobiling friends to your favorite
winter activity. Your club is encouraged to participate in the event and
partner with local media, radio stations, television stations, etc., in
promoting your Take a Friend Snowmobiling event and your club activities.
Extensive
research has shown that a vast majority of non-snowmobilers who live in the
snow belt are very interested in snowmobiling. When asked to rate their
interest on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest level of interest)
non-snowmobilers rate their interest at 9.
Research has
also shown us that most individuals that live in the snow-belt see snowmobiling
as a great way to:
- Enjoy the
scenery
- Get outdoors
and have fun with family and friends
- Go to unique
places and see amazing sights
- Have fun in
the winter outdoors and be able to go home tired and ready for a good night's
sleep.
This is the
first annual Take a Friend Snowmobiling contest, sponsored by the manufacturers
who encourage all snowmobilers to take their non-snowmobiling friends out
snowmobiling to enjoy the winter.
