If you’re not a foam-finger, hat-wearing, face-painting, sign-waving sports fan, that’s okay. Thanks to tailgating, you can still fall in love with a gathering of friends to watch a sports game and host a tailgate party in your own backyard.

Tailgating, named after the door or gate on the back of a pickup truck, the tailgate, this pre-game tradition has turned into a festival of epic food displays and bonding time with friends. Food lovers can enjoy barbecue entrees to grilled desserts.



Hard to believe that September has arrived… which means this is the last few days of summer! With entertaining, traveling, adventures and fun abounding in San Diego, it will be hard to see it go. Luckily, we still have a few days of ‘official’ summer. But it’s not too late to make the most of these couple of weeks. Here are a few ideas to pay homage to what’s left of the precious days:
7. Go to a Padre Game
6. Go to the beach
5. Go to the Annual Julian Star Fest
4. See a Summer Blockbuster
3. Take a Mini-Vacation
2. Spend a day outside in the sun ( with sunscreen of course)
1. Plan a “Last Days of Summer” party with Ranch Events


In the Northern Hemisphere, the hottest days of the year are usually between mid-July to mid-September. During this time of year, there is a feeling it will never cool off when the thermometer rises and sticky days are never ending. This time of year is coined “Dog Days of Summer” and is the perfect time for a party.
What do you serve to celebrate the Dog Days of Summer? Grilled hot dogs of course on a toasted bun! Hot dogs are coming back in style, popping up on gourmet menus and many trendy food trucks. Feature them at your next party with a toppings bar and let your guests go wild creating their unique concoctions.
