Camping World Celebrates 40th Anniversary with National ''Ice Cream Patio Parties''

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.--June 21, 2006--Camping World, the nation's largest retailer of RV and outdoor supplies and accessories, will throw a special national celebratory "Ice Cream Patio Party" at all of its SuperCenters and Xpress stores as part of its year-long 40th Anniversary.

The event will take place this Friday and Saturday June 23-24 from 1-3 p.m. and will include complimentary ice cream and beverages. Customers will also enjoy the lowest prices of the season on chairs, tables and recliners which include adjustable and big wide recliners, adjustable folding arm chairs, quick-fold tag along tables and accessories such as clamp-n-carry chair covers among others. Each store will also have a "Best Seat in the House" contest where customers will vote on their favorite chair/recliner and that model will be given away to a drawing winner.

"If ever there were a more perfect time to come in to "test drive" our wide selection of comfortable chairs and recliners, this Friday and Saturday is it," said Camping World President Mark Boggess. "It's also a good time to celebrate our 40th with our friendly Camping World associates, other outdoor and RV enthusiasts and kick back with some delicious, cold ice cream," he continued.
