I went down to my American Legion Post last Thursday night around nine to sit down at a table and watch the Dallas Cowboy game. I have followed them for yesar and I like watching their games. At one point my friend Hans sat down at my table and we got to talking about camping. He told me that he had recently bought a Coleman Weathermaster Tent. He said he had gone to the same store to purchase some trailer accesories and he wound up buying the tent. He said he usually tries to purchase things on sale and he was delighted that the tent was on sale.
