It’s November. Football is here. What could be more relaxing on the weekend than to watch your favorite team kick off on the big screen? But maybe you are in the mood to do something a little bit different this year! One social event that has become a growing trend is the tailgating party. And just like the word implies, tailgating parties take place in the open tailgate of an automobile. Friends gather around the open tailgate in parking lots of the football stadium. It is a chance for friends to celebrate and cheer. It is a chance to get into the spirit of the game. When planning the event, think of going on a camping trip. You will need a portable grill for cooking, disposable tableware, coolers filled with drinks and beer, battery powered lights, blankets, and a radio. And don’t forget the decorations! Tents and table tops are great for larger affairs. Pom-poms, banners and team flags put everyone in the winning spirit! From casual all-American favorites to sophisticated cuisines, the menu options of tailgating parties have truly evolved. One thing is for sure . . . plan a feast and the fun will follow!
