Tailgate Time

One of the things many folks enjoy about fall football is tailgate parties before the game.   Many people admit that they go to tailgate with friends and may not even attend the game.   Several Kia models are great for “tailgating”.    Kia Sorento, Kia SedonaKia Sportage, Kia Soul, all offer great spaces for your tailgate gear and storage.   Since the Kia vehicles all have a liftgate instead of a tailgate, you actually have cover for your items and deeper space to really pack all of your tailgate supplies.

Some folks have gotten creative and are using the styrofoam organizer located in the rear compartment as a serving tray. They use the divided area of the compartment for different foods and some even put ice in a compartment to cool their drinks.

The main ingredient in any tailgate event is time together with friends.   When it comes to tailgate time, you can be as creative or simple as you want to be.   Some enjoy bringing all of the fixins to grille out and prepare a meal while others are good with sandwiches, dips, and chips.

Whatever you do, we encourage you to get out there and enjoy all of the fall outings in your community.  Football is a great way to get together with friends and support your team.  It offers many different types of activities for kids and teaches them lessons in competition, sportsmanship, and brings out new talents in some.   Supporting our children in their endeavors will encourage them and help them grow.   Marching bands, cheer squads, and drill teams all offer ways for our kids to step out of their comfort zones and participate.   There is nothing wrong with being a spectator.

Remember, being involved is great and getting there is half of the fun.  We invite you to get there in a Kia.
