[BCMA] Looking to borrow a Tourist Tent

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Burnaby Village Museum has an old tent of the type you are looking for I
believe. I remember we set it up for a special outdoor display once for a
day next to a Ford Model T car as Auto-camps were a major part of Burnaby's
history. Central Park used to have a lot of tents next to cars.
