     Item 5.  Other Events.

Gander Mountain, Inc. issued a press release on
December 17, 1996, announcing that it had received
clearance from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Milwaukee
(the "Bankruptcy Court") to send its Reorganization
Plan, Ballots and Disclosure Statement to shareholders
for review and approval.  The Company issued a second
press release on December 18, 1996, to clarify the fact
that the headline of the earlier release may have
indicated that the Bankruptcy Court had approved the
