Yes.  Still holding reservations at Bear and Butcher.  Waiting for more info on Surly tailgate before finalizing plans. (Either meet at B&B then go to tailgate or tailgate all day.)

Never been to an Tailgreeter event before. Is it worth the price?

Are you willing to accept the personal challenge of drinking over $130 worth of booze in an afternoon? If so then yes.

My group will do the tailgate although the "special Kentucky menu" concerns me. 😀 One can only eat so many Hot Browns. We will go to Bear and Butcher first, then start tailgating around 2p.  Gametime still TBD.  Either 7p or 7:45p.

The weather forecast looks perfect:

Yall are gonna have such a great time. I haven't been to Lexington in a few years but it's a really neat town. The area southwest of their basketball arena is mostly bars, restaurants, and old school homes. Woodford Reserve distillery is a great visit if you can make time for it. It's only 30 minutes away from Lexington. Even if the tours are booked up, the drive around the area is worth it. Horse farms, beautiful trees, rolling hills, just lovely country.

If you're an outdoor kinda person, it's looking like an awesome fall Kentucky weekend. I highly recommend the Red River Gorge (30 mins from Lexington) for hiking, zip lines, and world class rock climbing. Follow it up with Miguel's Pizza. Alternatively, Shaker Village is a beautiful and very unique place for hiking and preserved history (look up the Shaker people). 

For other history-oriented activities, check out Ashland- the Henry Clay Estate, Mary Todd Lincoln's House, and the Waveland Museum (built by a close Daniel Boone relative). The Lexington Cemetery is also beautiful and perfect for a stroll. In addition to Perryville (mentioned up-thread), Camp Nelson is a Civil War Battlefield and National Monument- another place for rolling bluegrass hills and easy "hiking". 

For nicer food and fancier atmosphere, our go-to staples are Carson's, Dudley's, Coles 735 and the Merrick Inn. Other local favorites of lower or slightly lower scale are Ramsey's Diner, DV8, Malone's/ Drake's, and Bourbon n' Toulouse. There are plenty of other options as well.

We'll be there with my kids so I might stop by if y'all are around. In case it helps, Kroger has a good sized gameday setup near the stadium with free food. Not great food (think hot dogs and a variety of sides) and usually some activities for kids. 

Enjoy your time here, it's the best time of the year in Kentucky.
