Tailgate doesn't happen without these folks. 🙏

Every one of these businesses stepped up to help bring two days of live music to Mitchell. Local businesses backing local music. That's how it should work.

Thank you to Country 104 and FM96, our Presenting Media Sponsors, for spreading the word all summer.

Thank you to Sleeman Brewery and Cottage Springs for keeping the drinks cold all weekend.

And thank you to Veg-Gro / Stovel Siemon, Robinson Chevrolet Seaforth, Mitchell Coyotes, Municipality of West Perth, Uniac Insurance, Camp Out RV, 100.1 The Ranch, Schoonderwoerd Bros Concrete, Gaffney Electrical Solutions, Russwurm Sales and Marketing, Helena's Gardening, Woodecor, Tanya Wilhelm at Remax a-b Realty, Wighty's Repairs, Larry Hudson Chevrolet Buick GMC, Mitchell Cycle, Lactalis Canada, Canadiana Concrete, Sutton Group Real Estate, and Bio Agri Mix.

Next time you need what they're selling, remember who showed up for live music in our town.

See you in 2027. by @tailgatemusicfestival
