Ah, I just re-read the email and they suggest you use it but don't require it. Not that I'll finish top 3 anyway but nice to dream!
Dear New Holland Summer Fest Competitor,
This year Summer Fest and Rancher’s Reserve are teaming up to provide a brisket to each team and additional prize monies to the winners. Summer Fest is 1 of 10 competitions in the country that Rancher’s Reserve is teaming up with.
Rancher’s Reserve will provide one 15-pound (approximate weight) brisket to each team on Friday afternoon, August 27.
They are providing Summer Fest $1500 additional prize money to be distributed as follows –
Rancher’s Reserve Prize Summer Fest Prize Total Prize
1st place brisket $750 $600 $1350
2nd place brisket $500 $500 $1000
3rd place brisket $250 $400 $650
This makes for very lucrative prizes for the brisket category. There is no requirement to use their brisket and everyone is on the honor system.
They will have a trailer on site to provide information and samples.
This is a one-time offer from Rancher’s Reserve and Summer Fest.
If you have any questions, please email us at the above email address.
