KAEP partners with K-State football to promote ethanolKansas The Kansas Association of Ethanol Processors is proud to be a participating sponsor of the Live Wildcat Purple, Drive Ethanol Green Sweepstakes along with K-State Sports Properties, the multi-media and sponsorship rights holder for K-State athletics. Fans can text ETHANOL to 66856 to register to win a 2-year lease on a 2012 flex-fuel GMC Sierra pickup. From the text entries, six finalists will be selected and announced at halftime of each of K-State's six home football games this fall. All six finalists will then return for the season finale against Iowa State on Dec. 3, to determine the winner. Other participating partners in the promotion include Kansas Farm Bureau, Kansas Corn Commission, Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, Briggs GMC, Carter Energy and Dara's Corner Market. "KAEP is thrilled to be partnering with Kansas State Football and our agricultural friends on this exciting opportunity to share the message of ethanol's benefits to the economy and environment," Mike Chisam, general manager of Kansas Ethanol, LLC and KAEP Board Chairman, said. "We hope that all football fans will participate in the sweepstakes and join us in advancing Kansas' home grown fuel." The GMC Sierra, powered by 85 percent ethanol, will be on display at each K-State home game for fans to learn more about the benefits of using ethanol. The vehicle will also be displayed during the week at Dara's Corner Market at the intersection of Kimball Avenue and Tuttle Creek Boulevard, as well as Briggs' GMC Dealership in Manhattan. In addition to the 2-year lease, the winner will also receive a year's supply of free ethanol to fuel the vehicle. For complete rules and eligibility information, visit www.k-statesports.com.
