TYSONS, Va. —PenFed Credit Union has launched a nationwide e-bike sweepstakes that will run through the summer in conjunction with its participation in this month’s Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture Oshkosh, according to the credit union.
PenFed said two winners will be selected in early October as part of the three-month promotion, which coincides with the annual aviation event scheduled for July 20-26 in Oshkosh, Wis.
According to PenFed, the sweepstakes is intended to extend the AirVenture experience to aviation and motorsports enthusiasts nationwide beyond those attending the event in person.
