A rainy but successful tailgating party!




The weather could have been a bit better but nevertheless we had a very successful tailgating party.

As you can see from the pictures, we had a steady rainfall during the entire event.  Thankfully I have done quite a bit of tailgating during my Vikings season ticket ownership days so I was well prepared for the elements.

Yep, that's the official NewmanSellsHomes.com tailgating tent that I am grilling under in the 2nd photo.

Despite the weather and throwing the event together at the last minute, we had 29 people show up and 52 items were donated to the Scott County CAP Agency food shelf. 

Thank you to everyone for your food donations and for stopping by to share a brat and some football talk. I am already planning the same event for next year but I am going to plan a little more in advance and I am going to order some better weather. My goal is 100 people next year!

On a side note, I am wearing my Favre jersey to antagonize Larry who lives in the house you see in the background of the photo above.  He is a huge Packer fan!

Thanks again to everyone for your support!  Enjoy another Vikings season and Skol Vikings!
