White 24-volt Ford Bronco Raptor ride-on toy on display in the Friendly Ford parts department

The Bounty of the County Was a Bronco Bonanza!

What a week! The Monroe County Fair was an absolute blast, and the team at Friendly Ford had such a fantastic time connecting with everyone. This year's theme, "Bounty of the County," was on full display, from the incredible 4-H projects to the delicious food, and we were thrilled to add to the excitement with our own special giveaway! We love getting out and connecting with the community, and we wanted to bring a little extra horsepower to the fair this year. What better way to do that than with a legendary Ford Bronco? While we couldn't give away a full-sized one, we had the next best thing for our future drivers: two stunning 24v Ford Bronco Raptor ride-on toys! This rugged, kid-sized Bronco was the star of our booth, and the excitement was contagious. We asked fairgoers to enter our free giveaway, and the response was overwhelming! We collected over 100 entries from families who dreamed of seeing their little one behind the wheel of this awesome toy. It was a blast hearing stories from parents and grandparents about their own first Fords and seeing the kids’ eyes light up when they saw the prize. After so much anticipation, the time came to draw our winners: A huge congratulations to both Jonathan and Dayna! We are so thrilled for both of you and your families. We hope you have countless hours of backyard adventures in your brand-new Ford Bronco Raptors. Thank you for stopping by our booth and for being part of the fun. To everyone who entered, thank you! Your participation made this contest a massive success and a memorable part of our fair experience. We look forward to seeing you all again soon, whether it's at our next community event or when you're ready for a full-sized adventure vehicle of your own.
