Tailgate Bash 2009 - Was a HUGE Success

August 29, 2009
Fountain Square, Cincinnati
10 a.m. - 6 p.m. 

Kick off tailgating season in style with Tailgate Bash, a unique fundraiser celebrating everything Cincinnati. From Cornhole to Fountain Square, from beer to grilling favorites, you'll experience a taste of outdoor fun that makes the city great.

This year, nearly 10,000 spectators helped Easter Seals WRC kick off tailgating season CINCINNATI-STYLE!

It was a tailgate not to be missed. From food and grilling favorites to drumlines and live music to recreational and history-making professional cornhole, there was something for everyone.
