Chamber will sponsor Coastal Tailgate Cook-out Aug. 26 at Wharf

The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber will sponsor the Inaugural Coastal Tailgate at The Wharf in Orange Beach on Saturday, Aug. 26. For a $20 ticket, attendees will be granted entry to the Marina Lawn at The Wharf to enjoy samplings of all competitors’ preparations, live music, games, cornhole, and one vote towards the people’s choice awards. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will also be available for purchase. Attendees are asked to come out in their best college football themed attire as a ‘best dressed fan’ award will be given out by organizers.
Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a variety of foods while taking in a game day atmosphere. Tailgating teams will be competing for a coveted golden ticket to the World Food Championships (WFC) in Dallas, Texas as well as people’s choice awards in several categories.
Along with celebrating the return of football, this event will act as a kickoff fundraiser for the new CABC Foundation, which will be supporting education efforts in the Coastal Alabama area.
“It’s great to help bring a big-time WFC Competition back to Orange Beach. Everywhere we go WFC teams talk about what a great time they had when the competition was here,’’ said Danny Calametti, CEO of Alabama Coasting and a longtime WFC Partner. “Amateurs have always done well and had a good time at our events, so if you can cook tailgate food, then whether you’re a professional or first-timer, you are welcome.”
