Party Ideas and Event Planning Tips

Wear your team colors and get there early!Make a checklist of items to take with you, including a first aid kit, sun block, plenty of ice, paper products (cups, plates, napkins, etc), condiments, plastic utensils and damp towels (or wet wipes) in storage bags for cleaning up and wiping off sauces. Don’t forget garbage bags too! May be a good idea to bring your own roll of toilet paper too, in case they run out in the port-a-lets!

Get bottled water and freeze it, use this in cooler instead of loose ice. This prevents food from getting wet from melted ice and provides you with cold water for after the game!

If you’re grilling, allow at least 30 minutes for the charcoal to get hot and make sure your food is ready to eat 1 to 2 hours before the game.  This gives you plenty of time to eat, clean up and still get to the game on time!

If you don’t have enough time to grill at your tailgating party, why not try some ready-to-eat items like fried chicken, wings, lunch meat and cheeses, deli sandwiches, potato salads, etc and cookies and brownies!

Always clean up before you leave.
