2013 Tailgate for the Kids — RESULTS!

On the day of the Arkansas-Texas A&M football game, Razorbacks fans were looking for a win anywhere they could find one. And they found one in a Tyson Foods parking lot a few blocks from the game.

In its fourth year, this fun, gridiron-themed tailgate party for the whole family, which was held before the Razorbacks vs. Texas A&M football game at the Tyson parking lot on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Fayetteville, scored big for children in crisis.
