Tailgatin' is the best picnic of the season. We all love the cheerin' of our favorite team, to good foods, and the fellowship of like minded folks, some of which are friends we haven't met yet. It doesn't really matter where you are "The Big House" , "The Horse Shoe" , "Don Paul Stadium" in Fremont, Ohio, or perhaps in your driveway with the big screen TV the party is on. Here are a few starters fer your fall picnic or any other time you decide.
