The American Rental Association will give away a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck valued at $42,000 at the 50th anniversary of The Rental Show Feb. 6-9, 2006. The drawing for the truck will be held on the last day of the show. Only ARA general members are eligible to enter, and they must be present at the drawing to win.

"To celebrate this 50-year legacy, ARA wants to provide a special thank you to our members," said Christine Wehrman, executive vice president and CEO. "Giving away a Ford truck is a way to acknowledge the contributions members have made in making the association what it is today."

The Ford F-250 pickup truck is equipped with a crew cab, four-wheel drive, tow command system and a diesel engine. All general members will receive tickets for the giveaway in December, based on the number of years of consecutive membership they’ve held in ARA. Members must bring these tickets to The Rental Show to enter. Exhibitors also will receive tickets, based on their years of exhibiting, to award to general members.
