Forest Grove, Ore. — 2019 — Old Trapper Beef Jerky has partnered with the Portland Timbers for in-market promotions throughout the 2019 season and invites Timbers fans to special game day events at the Old Trapper tent that will be located outside the new Timbers team store.

At each of the home games on July 27, August 10 and August 23, Old Trapper will be hosting fans in their tent for visits with the Old Trapper mascot; friendly tomahawk cornhole competitions; prizes; and of course, free beef jerky.

Throughout the season, Timbers fans are invited to enter to win the exclusive VIP Game Pack for 4 that includes 4 season tickets for 2020, 4 custom jerseys, $500 credit at the Timbers team store and 4 Timbers branded scarves. Fans are encouraged to look for specially marked Old Trapper Beef Jerky packages at many Portland area grocery and convenience stores for additional details on entry. The deadline for entry is August 15, 2019.

A Natural Partnership

A partnership between the Oregon-born beef jerky brand and the state’s most dynamic professional sports team, which embarks on its ninth season in Major League Soccer in 2019 after advancing to its second MLS Cup in four seasons in 2018, seemed like a natural fit to Robert Leary, Old Trapper’s Director of Marketing and Communications.

“Old Trapper is the northwest’s most popular and best-selling beef jerky brand,” Leary said. “We accomplished this through a relentless commitment to quality as well as a fun and accessible brand identity as exemplified by the Old Trapper character himself. When we began to think about expanding our marketing into professional sports, we looked directly to the Portland Timbers. Major League Soccer is growing so quickly that it just made sense to partner up with our local team!

“Their commitment to a championship-level product and the larger fan experience is second to none, and closely mirrors our own business philosophy. Plus, they are champions and demand the best jerky anywhere — partnering with fellow champions, in MLS and Beef Jerky, was the smart play for all of us!”
