Tailgate Tour Deals In Fun

Oh, it felt so good to be watching prep football again.

The Victoryswap.com Chattanooga Area Football Scrimmages provided plenty of exciting action on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga.

Twenty-four teams from the greater Chattanooga area played in the event.

But as good as the play on the field was, there was also excitement in the concourse where the first leg of the State Farm Insurance Tennessee High School Football Tailgate Tour was dealing out fun.

The big State Farm wheel was spinning as fans watched in hopes it would stop on a winning number. The winners took home footballs, water bottles and other goodies.

The Varsity Sports Media crew of Chris Bevil, Greta Harless and Stacy Bevil were busy both days in a tent nearby playing fight songs and giving away Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Florida magazines.

Okay, the truth is the crew didn't give away many Florida magazines.

The fans lined up to attempt to throw footballs through the hole and win prizes.

At times the competition became heated as on Saturday when players from Tyner and Bradley County were throwing for prizes.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol rollover car was spinning over and over nearby throwing dummies all over the Finley Stadium concourse.

Everybody needs to see the rollover car at least once and learn why we all should wear seat belts.

The tailgate Tour is fun and attracts many people to the tents.

The 2008 season is on us and the State Farm Tennessee High School Football Tour continues this week.

I encourage the fans at the schools across the state to arrive early and enjoy all the fun.

I did.
