Fall in Texas means one thing: football season! Whether you’re cheering on your local high school team or alma mater or gearing up for an NFL game, tailgating is simply a Texas tradition. I know some of my best memories as a kid are going to watch the Texas Longhorns play in Austin with my family, and the tailgates we visited along the way were always the highlight of the trip! A tailgate is perfect for getting excited and putting on your team spirit! And just like our football, our tailgates must be big, bold, and unforgettable. Here’s how to make your tailgate the best in the lot with a bit of help from H-E-B and the Lone Star Living Bouquet.
