LAND O’LAKES RENEWS FLW OUTDOORS SPONSORSHIP
MINNEAPOLIS (Aug. 6, 2003) — FLW Outdoors announced Wednesday that Land
O’Lakes, the nation's No. 1 marketer of branded butter and deli cheese,
renewed its sponsorship for the sixth time in as many years, continuing
its dedication to bringing competitive fishing to the masses.
Land O’Lakes has realized the benefits of sponsoring
the world’s most lucrative competitive-fishing tournaments. The benefits
include brand awareness and loyalty among the 55 million people who spend
time fishing each year. As a sponsor, Land O’Lakes remains at the helm
of one of the Wal-Mart FLW Tour’s most sought-after designations – the
Land O’Lakes Angler of the Year title. The prestigious honor is awarded
annually to the world’s best and most consistent pro angler.
“FLW Outdoors’ focus on family fits in perfectly
with our demographics,” said Steve Dunphy, vice president of retail/deli
sales for Land O’Lakes. “We have been partners with FLW Outdoors for more
than five years because we are able to reach millions of families who fish.
We also are proud to sponsor anglers who are dedicated to their sport as
well as to their families.”
Land O’Lakes is among a growing list of innovative
companies that have recognized professional fishing as a vital business,
and it remains a sponsor of all six of FLW Outdoors’ varied fishing circuits.
For the 2003 EverStart Series, RCL Walleye Tour and FLW Tour championships,
Land O’Lakes will hold fishing clinics in each tournament’s host city at
local Wal-Mart stores. The clinics will include appearances by Team Land
O’Lakes pro anglers who will be available to sign autographs and have their
photos taken next to the Land O’Lakes tournament boat. Also offered at
the clinics will be free giveaways. Land O’Lakes plans on extending its
program for the 2004 season.
As an FLW Outdoors sponsor, Land O’Lakes will be
featured through a variety of media formats. The brand will appear on the
2004 “FLW Outdoors” television program broadcast to 65 million subscribers
across the country by the Outdoor Life Network. The Land O’Lakes brand
will also be publicized through FLW Outdoors Magazine advertisements, prominence
on FLWOutdoors.com, signage at tournaments, and inclusion in tour promotional
and public relations materials.
Through the years, Land O’Lakes has enhanced its
FLW Outdoors sponsorship by establishing a superior team of professional
anglers who skim tournament waters across the country in head-turning,
NASCAR-style boats bearing the Land O’Lakes name and logo. The 2003 professional
angling team comprises Renee Hensley of Edwardsburg, Mich.; Judy Israel
of Clewiston, Fla.; Eric Olson of Red Wing, Minn.; Karen Savik of St. Louis
Park, Minn.; Carl Svebek III of Siloam Springs, Ark.; Jerry Williams of
Conway, Ark.; and Jerry’s son Keith Williams of Conway, Ark.
Hensley became the first woman to win a national
bass-fishing championship when she won the Co-angler Division of the 2001
EverStart Series Championship on Pickwick Lake in Florence, Ala., while
Israel became the third woman in history to win a Wal-Mart Bass Fishing
League tournament when she topped the Co-angler Division at Thousand Islands
in New York in July 2002.
Christine Creed, vice president of marketing and
sales for FLW Outdoors, said Land O’Lakes’ presence has been a welcome
addition to FLW Outdoors’ exemplary team of tournament-trail sponsors.
“We are grateful to our long-term sponsors like
Land O’Lakes who continually help us bring tournament fishing to the forefront,”
Creed said. “Our sponsors are known for being leaders in their fields,
and Land O’Lakes is no exception. Its reputation for high quality helps
bring deserved credibility to professional angling.”
FLW Outdoors is the world’s leading marketer of
competitive fishing. It administers the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, the world’s
most lucrative bass-tournament series; the EverStart Series, the pathway
to the Wal-Mart FLW Tour; and the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League for weekend

the Wal-Mart RCL Walleye Tour, the world’s most lucrative walleye-tournament
