FUN, FOOD AND FOOTBALL: ARE YOU READY?

September kicks off the football season. Are you ready? Huddle up and let KHCPL help you suit up for some fun, food and football.

Can’t go to the game? What’s more fun than a Sunday afternoon tailgate party? Recruit your friends for a day of fun, food, and football. Don’t be a rookie when it comes to good food. The Food Network has some great recipes on-line and on their Pinterest Board. Also check out the books The Deen bros. get fired up : grilling, tailgating, picnicking, and more and Good housekeeping the great potluck cookbook : our favorite recipes for carry-in suppers, brunch buffets, tailgate parties & more!

Once your pregame warm up is underway, show your team spirit with a variety of options. 100 things Colts fans should know & do before they die and the Indianapolis Colts: the complete illustrated history should keep you in the game.

Not a football fan, but don’t want to stay on the sidelines? Check out The chicks guide to football : a complete guide to tight ends or Football for dummies. Both titles should keep you in the game.

Don’t get caught in an illegal motion and forget the kids. While reading the defense, they can also catch up on their favorite team with The Indianapolis Colts (Stewart, Mark),  Meet the Colts (Kennedy, Mike)  and Indianapolis Colts (Peloza, Brian). And of course, no roster is complete without a little Andrew Luck (Hoblin, Paul).

On a more serious note, check out the emotional biographies by coaches Chuck Pagano (Sidelined: overcoming odds through unity, passion, and perseverance)  and Tony Dungy (Quiet strength: a memoir: the principles, practices & priorities of a winning life).  Both titles will certainly put the game in perspective.
