Spaces will be available at $10 per vehicle (exact change preferred) on the morning of the event and assigned on a First-Come, First-Served basis. The Outdoor Tailgate Area will be managed by our sister club, the Lewisville Amateur Radio Association (LARA), who will receive 100% of all tailgate space sales.

You may stay open till 15:00 (3:00pm) which is the conclusion of the event. Tailgate vendors may not leave the tailgating area until close of event or attendants give permission. This is for the safety of all involved.
