Exmark Sweepstakes Winners Announced

After receiving more than 8,000 entries from folks drawn to the prospect of winning a dream fishing trip with a two-time Bassmaster Classic champion, a zero-turn riding mower or a new kayak, Exmark has announced the winners of its third-annual Mow & Go with Hank Parker Sweepstakes.

The grand-prize winner—Robert Stevens of Humble, TX—will fish with Hank Parker, a Bassmaster Classic champion in 1979 and 1989. Their fishing trip will take place in mid-June, on Kentucky’s Barkley Lakes.

Parker said Stevens’ once-in-a-lifetime fishing experience will be documented by Parker’s film crew as part of a 2014 episode of Hank Parker’s Outdoor Magazine television show, which airs on NBC Sports Network and Pursuit Channel.

The first-prize winner—Lorrie Poteet of Laramie, WY—is taking home a new Exmark Pioneer S-Series zero-turn riding mower (Model# PNS740KC604). The model includes a 60-inch Exmark UltraCut Series 4 cutting deck and a heavy-duty Kohler twin-cylinder engine.

The second-prize winner—Jen Horner of Marietta, GA—receives a Hobie Mirage i12s kayak.

“On behalf of everyone here at Exmark, I’d like to congratulate all three winners in the 2013 Exmark Mow & Go with Hank Parker Sweepstakes,” said Exmark’s Daryn Walters. “In addition, we’d also like to thank Hank Parker and the fine folks at Hobie for making this a sweepstakes worth entering.

"Here at Exmark, we know a lot of people who become landscape professionals in large part due to their love of the outdoors and of working in it. That’s why we know our brands make such a great team. Thanks again to everyone who participated.”
