ST. PAUL -- Gander Mountain Company (Nasdaq: GMTN), the nation�s largest retail network of stores for outdoor lifestyle products and services, today announced that it has acquired Overton�s, Inc., a leading Internet and catalog marketing company targeting recreational boaters, from Linsalata Capital Partners, a Cleveland-based private equity firm.

With 2006 revenues in excess of $90 million and over 15 million catalogs distributed annually, Overton�s is an established Internet and catalog marketer with a strong, trusted brand name. Headquartered in Greenville, N.C., Overton�s operations include a fulfillment center and call center offering available capacity to support new Gander Mountain Internet and catalog marketing opportunities.

"The acquisition of Overton�s enables Gander Mountain to greatly accelerate our strategy to be an integrated, multi-channel retailer featuring Internet, catalogs and retail stores,� said Mark Baker, Gander Mountain president and CEO. �Overton�s is a unique opportunity for Gander Mountain, providing an excellent management team, a proven platform and infrastructure, and the capacity to handle substantial additional volume with minimal incremental investment.

Objects have been cataloged on and off, MacMullen said, but the latest archives are on index cards. Nothing at all has been cataloged since she arrived as a volunteer, about two decades ago.��It's been a while and nobody's getting any better at knowing what we have. In fact we're getting worse,'' MacMullen said.
