Not only is it a good excuse for a party, it&#8217;s fun to watch sporting events, concerts or large events with a crowd of friends. Typically, the food is usual BBQ menu, yet I have been to some tailgate parties where the variety of dishes some people come up was absolutely amazing. It&#8217;s like going to the best food show ever.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever been to an autumn hay ride in a pickup truck. I remember snuggling with my wife one chilly October night during a hay ride that was offered locally. They offered hot mulled cider and donuts while we toured a huge 6 mile pumpkin patch and tree farm, and a guy played a banjo. I always thought a hay ride was on a wagon, but these guys with three pickup trucks offered this experience and it was really fun.<\/p>\n<p>Another fun thing to do with your pickup truck is make money plowing snow. There&#8217;s something therapeutic about moving big piles of snow. It sure beats getting wind whipped using a snow blower. My wife would disagree because she doesn&#8217;t like the jerking of the truck during snow removal.<\/p>\n<p>How about sleeping under the stars, weather permitting, of course? Or, just plain stargazing? If you are a nature lover, there&#8217;s nothing more romantic than an air mattress, a blanket, an old transistor radio, and a beautiful summer night to enjoy the outdoors and whatever happens next. For the younger generation who are wondering what the heck a transistor radio is, you would use your play list on your iPhone in place of that. Hahahahahaa<\/p>\n<p>Many local communities use truck beds in parades in place of &#8220;floats.&#8221;I&#8217;ve seen everything from mayors to county fair queens waving and cheering from the back of pickup trucks.<\/p>\n<p>A buddy of mine was about to propose to his girlfriend. Together we concocted this elaborate scheme and he decorated his truck bed with 4 dozen red roses, a cooler with a bottle of champagne, a picnic basket of some of her favorite foods and helium balloons. When he opened his bed cover, his girlfriend was in shock. I have to admit he created quite the picnic area to pop the question. I guess you don&#8217;t have to be proposing to do the same for someone special in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I hope I got you thinking about some fun things you can do with your pickup instead of the usual tasks you use it for. If you&#8217;ve done some new and adventurous things with your pickup, I&#8217;d love to hear about it (keep it clean, OK) Head on over to truckworldaccessories.com and tell me about it and I just might try it.<\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Tailgating parties are a fun way to gather in a crowd, have good food, cold beer and conversation.
