ERIE,
PA (February 8, 2015) – Jeff & Pam Harting of North Kingston, Ohio enjoy
camping with friends they call their “camping family” and already had plans to do
lots of camping this year. They just
never dreamed that after receiving $800 of free camping in 2014 with the
purchase of a fifth wheel RV from Boyer’s RV Center in Erie that they’d wind up
winning another $500 of free camping for 2015! In addition, Boyer RV Center presented
them with a gift certificate worth $200.00 of RV supplies from their store and
B & R Camper Sales gave them a $100 gift certificate from their store,
bringing their total winnings to $800.00!
The
Harting family was recently named the winners of the fifth annual Very Special
Camper Contest (VSC), sponsored by participating campgrounds and RV Dealers in
Western Pennsylvania.
The
Harting family, according to Meadville KOA Campground Owner Tim Chilson, were
able to enjoy 14 different weekends of camping at the price of 7 weekends,
because of the VSC program. He went on
to add, “This program introduces new campers to some of the finest campgrounds
in Western Pennsylvania at a special introductory offer of half price camping
because they bought a new RV at these local participating dealers! It’s a one-of-a-kind deal!”
When
asked about what they liked most about the program, Charlie, the Harting’s
four-year-old grandson, said he loved swimming the best! Pam responded that “Western Pennsylvania is
beautiful with all the lakes, but we really enjoy the great people we meet while
camping!”
Like
the Harting family, any camper purchasing a new RV from any of the
participating RV dealers receives one night of free camping for a family of
four from each of the 24 participating Western Pennsylvania campgrounds. This program is valued at over $800 of
free camping provided by the participating campgrounds.
In
addition, any camper who stays at eight or more of the 24 participating
campgrounds and RV parks and submits their completed contest entry form within
a year of their RV purchase, is entered into a special drawing to receive an
additional $500 in gift certificates, which can be used at any campground in
the PACamping.com organization.
Denny
Quigley, owner of Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Kozy Rest Kampground, said the
successful contest will be available again in 2015. Quigley added that, “Anyone planning
to purchase an RV in 2015 can get more information from any participating RV
dealer displaying the Very Special Camper 2015 information, or at any of the
