Bass Pro Fans! It's time to get out your camping gear! Take your family for a unique camping experience this Thanksgiving night and you will have a chance to win a 2010 Toyota® 4Runner 2yr. Lease and a Coleman® Camping Package! Sounds AWESOME! Thanksgiving evening shoppers will be bringing their tents and camping out on the front parking lot at the Bass Pro Shops store located at 5000 Bass Pro Boulevard in Macon (check with your favorite Bass Pro to see if they participate) to be a part of the 3rd annual Great Turkey Campout and be one of the first through the doors for their big 5-hour sale Friday morning! From 5:00 – 8:00 pm Thanksgiving evening family and friends will gather around the fire pits, enjoy free hot chocolate and s’mores, and play fun games. They can also register to win Bass Pro Shops gift cards that will be given away every half hour and enter into a drawing to win a 2010 Toyota® 4Runner 2 year lease and a Coleman® Camping Package. The camping package includes a 3-burner stove with stand, 50-qt. wheeled cooler, Harbor sleeping bag, Sundome 10x10 tent, twin LED lantern and inflatable boat. Purchase a “Golden Ticket” for $250 before December 13th and save as much as $1,000 on a new 2009 boat package purchased by December 26th. Give the coupon as a gift or use it to start your own boating adventures. If you decide not to get a boat, you can return the coupon after Christmas for a $250 Bass Pro Shops gift card. Friday, from 5:30 am – 7:00 am campers will be treated to Christmas music and Bass Pro Shops will be passing out free refreshments. Doors open for Black Friday Christmas sales at 6:00 am.

Alot of thought was put into the design of this family tent and you will appreciate the easy assembly, glow in the dark zip pulls, gear loft, and the superior ventilation system. The tent is a bit heavy for me to handle on my own, but with a little practice (and some help) I can have it set up in about 30 minutes. That may seem long to you, but I am new at this and I think it's pretty good considering it's my first! There is plenty of room for a playpen, airbed, several sleeping bags and coolers. I love the roominess because I can move around without feeling too confined and I am not tripping over everyone else! My children can have a small play area, which keeps them happy, and we all know that is the secret to a happy camping trip!

I love this great 30/40º Double Sleeping Bag from Bass Pro Shops! It works great as a double, but it also makes two very nice, very warm sleeping bags! It even includes the pillows, which I cannot do without! The pillows are generous enough to carry you through the night, not like some other travel pillows that I have used. The Bass Pro Shops® 30/40º Double Sleeping Bag features a polyester outer shell, a 100% yarn-dyed brushed cotton flannel liner, and seven lbs. of 100% polyester solid-core insulation. Two adjustable compression straps with side release buckles allow for easy storage. The dimensions are 78'' x 81''. It is available in a traditional Blue/Plaid. The sleeping bag holds up well and it can be washed in any commercial front-load washing machine! This bag is perfect for South Georgia, where we seem to jump between cool and muggy nights. If it is cool, this bag provides just enough warmth! On warmer nights, just kick off the top! The bag is plush and comfortable if you are sleeping on rough surfaces, and very durable. So if you are headed to Bass Pro Shops awesome Great Turkey Campout on Thanksgiving night, pack your gear, gather the family, and be prepared to make some memories! I'll see you there!
