On August 19, at the Chesapeake Boathouse in Oklahoma City, OBI held the drawing for the winner of a new car from Bob Moore. The five finalists were: Danny Ellis of Tulsa, Terry Nicholas of OKC, Richard Hardy of Moore, Richard Ward of Edmond, and Andrea Perez of Moore.
The winner of the new 2017 Buick Verano is Richard Hardy. He is an O-negative, multi-gallon blood donor.
