~ Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Inks
Presenting Sponsor ~

For Immediate Release: June 29, 2010


Jack Link’s Beef Jerky, the leading U.S. meat snack brand and fastest-growing meat snack manufacturer worldwide, has thrown its respective support behind the Bass Pro Shops Lake Simcoe Open slated for Saturday, October 23rd out of Couchiching Beach Park, City of Orillia.

“On behalf of Jack Link’s Beef Jerky, we are proud to lend our support to this exciting new event as Presenting Sponsor.” said Doug Surerus, Ontario Regional Manager, Jack Link’s Beef Jerky. “In partnership with Bass Pro Shops, the success of the Lake Simcoe Open will continue to grow exponentially into the future, attracting ardent anglers from all walks of life. Much like the rugged roots of Jack Link’s over 100 years ago in Northern Wisconsin, this event will produce a Champion that is not only able to master the fishery, but one that can also weather Mother Nature in late October on Lake Simcoe – with a little luck! We are excited to be a part of your tournament season here in Ontario; we look forward to playing an integral role in this year’s successes.” Surerus concluded.
