Planet Ford in Spring thanks everyone for coming out and making our Grand Opening celebration one-of-a-kind. A highlight of the evening was announcing the Planet Ford Whisperer winner. The Reed Family and Planet Ford want to thank everyone who entered their creative videos and photo essays. The #PlanetFordWhisperer contest moderators and panel of judges had an incredibly hard time choosing the best of the best. “There were so many entries that were deserving of the prize; it was hard to narrow it down,” said Randall Reed, owner of Planet Ford and the Ford Whisperer.
The grand prize ultimately went to Michael Page, who created the video called Into The Wild. As Randall Reed and his wife, Sherry along with Dana Tyson from Sunny 99.1 read out the name from the envelope, you could see the look of disbelief and shock on Michael’s face.
Michael had his choice of a new Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 or Ford Raptor. He opted for the new Shelby GT350!
The others judge favorites were so incredible, they won a Grand Prize Pack! So, everyone is truly a winner.
