Knife manufacturer Taylor Brands is teaming up with Bassmaster Elite Series angler Tommy Biffle for its Old Timer Father's Day 2016 "Fish with Tommy Biffle" sweepstakes, the company announced today.
Taylor is running a free-to-enter "Dad and his pocket knife" story contest as part of the sweepstakes. The contest is free to enter for anyone 21 and older, and no purchase is required. To be eligible, contestants must use the official Old Timer Father's Day 2016 registration form and also submit a written memory about your dad and his pocket knife.
Fully completed forms must be submitted by midnight EDT on June 19 (Father’s Day), or sent via U.S. mail with a postmark of no later than June 19, 2016. The winners will be determined by random drawing of qualified submissions on July 5.
The grand prize is a two-day fishing trip for a father and offspring, plus two other guests, to Fort Gibson Lake in Oklahoma. The winners will fish one day with Biffle on his home lake, and will also fish another day for white bass on the same lake with a local expert. A travel allowance, lodging, on-site meals and fishing licenses are included in the prize package.
Once the grand prize winner is selected, an additional 20 names will be drawn for more prizes consisting of Old Timer knives, Gene Larew bass lures and Bobby Garland crappie baits.
Taylor Brands vice president Jody Agnew said the dad-and-his-pocket-knife tales can be about anything memorable, whether funny, sentimental, generational, etc.
"Dads and their pocket knives have always had a special relationship," said Agnew. "While the story doesn't necessarily have to be about an Old Timer knife, we expect many of them will be because the popular Old Timer brand has been around for nearly 60 years. To associate Tommy Biffle with Old Timer makes perfect sense because both are long respected names in the outdoors."
