Hello October! We are officially in full swing of fall and that means football season is in full force, and what’s a football game without a good old fashion tailgate? This week we have some tips and tricks to help you turn your vehicle into the ultimate tailgate hotspot and you will for sure dominate any and all tailgates for the rest of the season! It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is small or large turning your vehicle into tailgate central is easier than you think!

Create a Tailgate Toolkit:

• The preparation starts before you even leave the house, get a picnic basket, toolbox, or really anything you can turn into your kit
• Make sure include the basics like food, drinks, tables and chairs, coolers and ice, napkins, plastic ware, and utensils.
• One more must-have is the grill – not only to get barbeque, but it also comes in handy for when the season turns cool.

Keep everyone entertained:

• The best tailgating parties need more than food and good conversation. Install some gutsy stereo speakers so everyone can hear your party soundtrack or the pre-game highlights.
• If you’re really trying to take your tailgating up a few notches, you may consider bringing portable phone chargers, wireless speakers and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. Talk about cool points!

Decor:

• If your car is your pride and joy, you might reluctantly decorate it for your tailgating party. Fortunately, there are plenty of decorating ideas that won’t damage your precious paintwork.
• Erasable chalk ink markers, magnetic team decals, vanity team license plates, and don’t forget the team-themed napkins, plates, and cups!

Location:

• To ensure you find the perfect spot for your tailgate, arrive early to get first dibs on parking spaces. Sheltered spots to keep the sun, wind, and rain away are generally a wise choice!
• Finally, tie a helium balloon in your team colors to your car with a long piece of string so your party guests can find you.
