Trace Adkins meets fans at Aberdeen RV Center’s 25th Anniversary Celebration

ABERDEEN, Miss. (WCBI)- Aberdeen RV Center celebrated its 25th anniversary with a huge sale and a new celebrity spokesperson.

Country music fans piled into the facility Saturday afternoon for a chance to meet country music singer Trace Adkins.

Some of them waited in line for hours just to get the star’s autograph.

“Hopefully I’ll be able to take a picture and he’ll sing a few songs, you know,” said fan Hunter Adair.

“I’m going to tell him that he’s awesome,” said 12-year-old fan Jackson Robison.

Adkins said being the new spokesperson for Aberdeen RV is a good match for him.

“I’m an RV guy. I grew up doing that when I was a kid. That was our summer vacation, you know. My dad would get a couple of weeks off in the summer and we’d hook up to the RV and go to the mountains,” said Adkins.

Aberdeen RV representatives said they hope attendees go home with more than just an RV and an autograph. They hope the attendees go home with an experience.

“Like Trace, I grew up camping, and It’s good to share those experiences with your family and friends,” said owner Chris Brown.

“It helps emphasize that lifestyle to potential customers so they can spend more time with each other. Ultimately, that’s what it’s about,” said general manager Brad Smart.

Adkins also took time to promote the Wounded Warrior Project and thank his fans for their support.

“The Wounded Warrior Project is something that I’ve been doing for over 10 years now, and it’s something that’s very near and dear to my heart. Anytime I get a chance to represent those folks I always do….”
“…You know that’s what keeps me going. All these fans that keep coming out to the shows and buying the records that I make and if it weren’t for them I’d be working in the oil field again probably. God bless them. I really appreciate them,” said Adkins.

Trace Adkins made this stop on his way to a concert in Philadelphia Saturday night.
