Tailgating | BG Automotive - Fort Collins, Webster Avenue

Weekends are good and convenient for tailgating. Whether you are planning to spend time with family and friends or attending a sporting even or a football match, safety is key. However fun such events would be over a grill, some dangers may arise. Here are some safe tips for a successful tailgating experience.


Timely planning and sourcing for meals saves time to find foodstuffs. It is often stressful to find everything you might need within a tight schedule. Planning will accord you an ample time to organize a great tailgating experience and also save your pockets from impulse buying.


While having much fun, danger always sticks around for a bone or two. It is important to keep the grill a safe distance away from the gathering as people risk dangerous falls as it cooks your meals. In addition, fire extinguishers would also come in handy in case of fire emergencies while a first aid kit would be used to nurse minor injuries.


It is important to note that nowadays, so much affects our health hence the need to practice food safety around the vicinity of the event.


Cleanliness should be well maintained from the cooking area to the bins. Food handling should also be clean and sanitary to avoid food poisoning.

Further, for perishable foods, find a cool place to store them, most probably a bucket of ice as exposure of such foods to warmth, heat or direct sunlight might accelerate spoilage which may cause food poisoning. A source of clean water will keep your family or group of friends greatly safe. Since you will be spending much of your time in the sunlight or outdoors, you'll need to dehydrate a lot to keep yourself healthy and active.



Secure safe spaces like parking lots or green parks offer a conducive environment to take a beer or more. In such situations, you may lose control of things around you. Thus, it is important that you do it responsibly for the sake of everyone's safety. But, in case you need your vehicle serviced, come to BG Automotive today.
