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!

Are You Ready For Some Tailgating...

If you know me well (or no me a little) you know that I am a huge Vikings fan. Nothing thrills me more than the fact that we now have Brett Favre on our team and we are playing the Packers this week!

In honor of this big event which includes Favre playing his former team for the first time, I wanted to concoct an idea that would allow me to have some fun in preparation for and in anticipation of the big game while giving back to the community in which I work, live, and play.

Our Coldwell Banker Burnet office recently became an official drop off site for the Scott County CAP agency food shelf so I thought there couldn't be a better way to get people involved then having a tailgating party to benefit the food shelf.

So here is the plan: NewmanSellsHomes.com will sponsor a tailgating event right before the game and provide Brats, hotdogs, chips, and beverages. We are asking that anyone who attends bring a food shelf item that we will donate to the local CAP agency.

For more information on the CAP agency or to check out what type of items are needed for their food shelf, visit their website at www.capagency.org.

If you live in or around the Shakopee area and are interested in attending this coming Monday, text or call me at 612.719.9245 and I will get you more information on our little party.
