    HARRISBURG, Pa. (June 1) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) reminds outdoor enthusiasts that it has partnered with several organizations to sponsor a giveaway that includes a fishing kayak, tickets to a NASCAR race, and tickets to a concert, all to be awarded to lucky winners who either enter online or enter in person at events this weekend.

    Prizes to this unique giveaway are an Emotion Stealth 11 Angler kayak package, donated by Cabela’s; a family four-pack of tickets to the July 31 Pennsylvania 400 NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway, donated by Pocono Raceway; and a pair of tickets to see Lady Antebellum in concert at Musikfest in Bethlehem on August 13, donated by ArtsQuest.

    The public can enter this giveaway by visiting www.GoneFishingPA.comthrough June 27, or by entering in person at the PFBC booth/table at one of the following events this weekend:

    • June 3-5 - Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400 race weekend at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa.
    • June 4-5 – Step Outdoors Lehigh Valley at SteelStacks in Bethlehem, Pa.

    “This is an opportunity for us to partner with a number of interested organizations and to promote fishing and boating opportunities to outdoor enthusiasts,” said Steve Kralik, PFBC’s Director of the Bureau of Outreach, Education and Marketing. “It also gives us a chance to remind people that there are still a lot of good fishing and outdoor activities coming up as the opening of bass season approaches.”

    “We particularly want to thank the sponsors for donating the prizes,” he added. “One lucky individual is going to be equipped for bass fishing, and a couple of other winners will get to take in Pennsylvania-based events this summer.”

    The winners will be notified after July 5.  A date, time and location for the winner to pick up the kayak will be determined in the weeks after the winner is notified, and the other prizes will be mailed after they’ve been awarded. No purchase is required and only one entry per qualifying adult will be accepted.
