Kettlepizza Teams with Tailgating Challenge to Kick Off the First Annual National Tailgating Day

KettlePizza, the world's leading wood-fired pizza oven kit for charcoal style kettle grills and gas grills, announced today that it has partnered with Tailgating Challenge, a site dedicated to promoting the latest and greatest tailgating products and ideas, to unveil the first annual National Tailgating Day on Saturday, September 3rd.

Whether they are outside of the stadium or in their backyards, tailgaters across the country are invited to share photos of their pre-game festivities via social media using the hashtag #NationalTailgatingDay. With over 50 college football games scheduled that day, National Tailgating Day promises to celebrate the most passionate fans across the country.

Originally conceived by Luke Lorick, president of Tailgating Challenge founded National Tailgating Day as a way to share his passion for the sport of tailgating. Throughout the day, KettlePizza and various other brands in the grilling and tailgating space will be giving away various prizes at random to those who post using the #NationalTailgatingDay hashtag.

"We are delighted to team with Tailgating Challenge and other brands to celebrate the first annual National Tailgating Day," noted KettlePizza President Al Contarino. "Pizza is the new hamburger when it comes to favorite tailgating menus, providing guests with a perfect grab-and-go food while keeping a hand free for a pre-game beverage. We look forward to seeing images of fans grilling pizzas using the KettlePizza pizza oven kit, perhaps even hosting a toppings bar to get friends and family in on the fun by crafting their own masterpieces."
