MEMPHIS, Tenn. – March 4, 2020 – Purina Pro Plan®, the official performance dog food of Ducks Unlimited (DU), will be the presenting sponsor of the inaugural Ducks Unlimited Expo (DUX), May 15-17, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.
DUX is a three-day, family friendly, hands-on consumer show consisting of several interactive villages where you can see, try and buy the latest in outdoor products and talk with industry experts. DUX will also feature exhibitions, educational seminars and demonstrations.
Purina Pro Plan will also host its 23rd annual Incredible Dog Challenge Central Regional during DUX, featuring some of the most athletic dogs from across the country. This premier canine sporting event features an array of dog breeds competing in “Olympic-style” events, including high-flying disc routines, head-to-head weave pole racing, large and small dog agility courses, Jack Russell hurdle racing and the crowd favorite – diving dog – where dogs run and leap off of a 40-foot dock into a 19,000-gallon pool of water.
The Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge has become a nationally renowned event known for attracting world-class canine athletes in a first-of-its-kind competition and nationally televised championship.
“Purina Pro Plan has been a proud partner and the official performance dog food of DU since 2015,” said Amy Batson, DU chief fundraising officer. “We are thrilled that Purina has committed to expand their existing partnership with DU by being the presenting sponsor of the DU Expo, and the Incredible Dog Challenge Central Regional will be a great event that attendees from all over will enjoy. Purina’s support of DUX helps further our mission and engage new audiences for conservation.”
