Minneapolis, Minn. (June 10, 2013) – Minnesotans turn out in a big way for the Fishing Klinics for Kids at Buffalo Days. Back for the second year, the Evinrude-Ranger-Stratos TESTRIDE is free to the public at this fun, summer program. Based out of Sturges Park on Buffalo Lake, TESTRIDE runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. A variety of Ranger Boats and Stratos Boats powered with Evinrude outboards showcase Humminbird Electronics, Minn Kota trolling motors, Talon shallow water anchors, Lakemaster digital mapping, iPilot control for Minn Kota motors and quality Dobyns fishing rods. Bass boats and multi-species boats will be displayed along with a chance to have all your questions answered about the new aluminum series.
“Think of this as a boat show that’s not during boat show season, but with all the benefits,” shared Garett Solberg of Rapid Marine in Rogers, Minnesota. Even if folks are in more of a shopping mode than a buying mode, the experience on the water is worth the trip. The dealer has both new and used inventory. “This on-the-water event is a fun way to bring the family out and show them a few options,” continued Solberg. “Take advantage of up to $1500.00 in purchase incentives. Plus, it’s a fun Saturday experience with professional anglers.”
“There has been a lot of buzz this year,” added Bart Schad of Ranger Boats. “We’re proud to showcase the new aluminum series.” This is the first year of Ranger’s aluminum line with seven models.
“We’ll showcase several different models so everyone has something to choose from,” added George Liddle, Minnesota manufacturer’s rep with Ranger and Stratos Boats. Logo’d t-shirts are a complimentary gift for the first 50 to take a TESTRIDE.
Liddle Marketing Company organizes the events, working in partnership with Jim Wedell’s Fishing Klinics for Kids at Buffalo Days. “Everyone is excited to get on the water and kick off summer,” continued Liddle. “Plus, attendees can register to win a Talon shallow water anchor.”
This year Janet Parker, Vice President of LMC and Bassmaster Champion has added a women-to-women boat use and ownership program entitled Women & Water. “We’re finding that women learn best from other women,” shared Janet. “We want ladies to walk away with new skills and confidence in using equipment like electronics and trolling motors and overall boat ownership.”
The TESTRIDE program is completely free, plus free t-shirts to the first 50 who take a TESTRIDE.
