SAN MARCOS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Two people have been hosting a Bobcat football tailgate for 22 years; the festivities have been going on so long that Gordon and Debby McCullough, along with the other 13 people that started the event, have been coined The Originals. Different businesses throughout San Marcos sponsor the tailgates; the upcoming one will occur from 3 to 5:30 p.m. (before kickoff at 6 p.m.) during the homecoming game against Southern Miss, and it is sponsored by the San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce.
“There were about 15 of us that got together and donated $100 a piece and decided that we would start having a tailgate before the Bobcat football game,” Gordon said. “We started out with like about 15 people. Very few of those initial 15 are still part of the originals. There are a few left. Some of them have passed on. Some of them went on to do other things or moved.”
