Happy October! Autumn is in full swing, and for us, that means one thing – tailgating season is here!

There’s nothing we love more than gathering with friends and family for some barbeque, refreshments, and fun before a big game. We think that tailgating is a great way to build anticipation – there’s always a buzz of excitement in a crowd of tailgaters, and we find that it’s an atmosphere that builds camaraderie amongst loyal fans of a team!

Tailgating is a great excuse to get outside and enjoy the beautiful fall weather here in Colorado. You can certainly travel far and wide to attend your favorite team’s games, but here at Ace Hardware of Fort Collins, local football teams are our favorite.
