tailgating tips

Steph ;; Chelsee

this week I give you tips for tailgating at country concerts. or anywhere really, but mostly concerts.

at Blossom, which is where most of Cleveland's outdoor concerts are held, and the majority of country concerts, it's prime for tailgating. we usually get there around 1pm and tailgate all day until the concert begins at 7-ish. it's always a blast.

here's how we do it...

cooler. obvi packed with alcohol. as many as you need to hold all of your supplies. and another mini one for food.
solo cups. preferably red or camo. yes, they do have camo ones.
food. hot dogs are perfect. don't forget the buns or the ketchup though. pretzels are always a good drinking choice too.
portable grill. just a little thing, to grill those hot dogs.
corn hole. that's a given.
portable stereo. not a super giant one, just big enough to play some tunes.
sunglasses//hat//sunscreen. trust me on this one.
chairs. campfire chairs work perfectly. trust me, when you're tailgating for 6 hours you'll want to sit down in between corn hole games.
cheap table. just a small fold up table. it can double as a set up for your grill, hot dogs, buns, ketchup, stereo, etc.. or use it for a beer pong table. either way you can't go wrong.
alcohol soaked fruit. it's delish.
camera. so you can capture moments like these::

I have way too many pictures from way too many concerts, so I'm just giving you one from each.. or we'd be here all day. enjoy.
