College football fever is upon us and to quote my college bestie, "Tailgating is my favorite sport." Nobody does tailgates like the SEC! If you've ever attended an Ole Miss tailgate in The Grove, you know what I'm talking about - sun dresses, ties, and cocktails, oh my! Plain old paper plates will simply not do for an upscale SEC football tailgate, you need Smarty for this high style parking lot party. Inspired by my Alma Mater, the University of Missouri - a.k.a. Mizzou (and mostly because that's the kind of decor I had, and we ARE based in St. Louis...) we we came up with this cheer-ful concept that will make you the envy of the lot this football season.
