Drive Through Tailgate to Go

On Sunday, October 18, the First United Church of Christ of Belleville held a drive-thru Tailgate To Go. Thank you to the many community members and families who turned out to support the event. While we had planned for an 11:30 a.m. start time, tailgaters were anxious to get their pre-game going and we started taking orders at 11:00 a.m. We sold out of our 300 meal deals and had over 150 additional individual brat/hot dog sandwiches sold as well. Many tailgaters also graciously donated additional funds or their change.
