Friday we arrived in Kittery, ME after a relaxing week in Massachusetts catching up with family and friends. We spent the day at the Kittery Trading Post for Junefest. This was an exciting event filled with great sales and Coleman was highlighted as an event guest. Coleman's Let's Go Outside Tour, a mobile showcase providing a touch of Coleman's 100 plus year history as well as a sampling of today's products, was in the parking lot for customers to enjoy. We met a Leave No Trace enthusiast that quizzed us on the history of NOLS and Leave No Trace skills and ethics about the use of fire. We explained to her that Leave No Trace is not against campfires, but it is important to always check with your local land manager about fire permits. Then you want to use an established fire ring in popular areas and keep the fire small. Always be sure to burn the wood to ash and pack out what you can. She was very happy to see us at Junefest and encouraged us to reach as many people as possible.
