Presidential Candidate John McCain Scheduled to Address 2008 Ohio Rally

8/22/08

 

(Columbus) - Each year, sportsmen from across Ohio gather to celebrate our victories and raise the funds needed to ensure the future of our hunting, fishing and trapping heritage.  It’s that time of year again and you’re invited to the 12th Annual “Save our Heritage” Rally, sponsored by Gander Mountain.

This year we are honored to have, as a special guest, Presidential Candidate, Senator John McCain, who is scheduled to address the banquet. 

On Saturday, September 27, 2008, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation will give away 20 acres of premium hunting land in Noble County to one lucky attendee at the rally.  

Everyone in attendance at the rally will receive a single entry into the grand prize drawing for their very own hunting paradise.   In addition to giving away 20 acres of land, we’ll be giving away dozens of guns and bows, and other great prizes sponsored by Toyota Direct.

The land give-a-way is only possible through the generous contribution of B & N Coal Co., Dexter City, Ohio.  This family owned, conservation minded company has donated hundreds of acres of land to the U. S. Sportsmen’s Alliance which has generated millions of dollars to help protect and preserve our outdoor heritage.  B & N Coal has also opened over 9,000 acres of land to public hunting, such as the Ales Run Wildlife Area in Noble County. 

Tickets are available now,but seating is limited so make your reservations today!  To ensure your seat CLICK HERE to buy tickets online or call to purchase tickets by credit card today!

This year’s rally will be held on September 27, 2008 at the Aladdin Shrine Temple (3850 Stelzer Rd) in Columbus, Ohio.  Doors will open at 3:00 p.m. and dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m.  Individual tickets are $50 each and tables of 10 are available for $500.   Reserve your tickets to hear Senator McCain and have a chance to win a hunting paradise today. 

In addition to the many raffles and games, our live auction looks to be better than ever with an African safari, Maine bear hunt, a Colorado archery hunt, a Brittany Spaniel puppy, Alaskan fishing trip, multiple Canadian fishing trips and many other great items.  As always, we will have many great silent auction items to bid on.

We look forward to seeing you on September 27th!  If you have any questions please feel free to contact the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation office at 614-888-4868.  We look forward to seeing you there.
