Ralph Carter is constantly seeking ideas to help the Linden community. Hosting tailgates at Linden football games is his latest initiative.
Before Linden beat Centennial 40-8 on Sept. 23, dozens of community members stopped at Carter's tailgate for a free We are Linden T-shirt, a hot dog or to share a moment of engagement with Carter.
The tailgate occupied half of the parking lot next to Linden's stadium, with music blaring from a speaker, volunteers handing out T-shirts and members of the Linden Eagles Alumni Group grilling hot dogs to feed everyone in attendance. If anyone tried to walk past without stopping, Carter and his bullhorn leapt into action.
"The pandemic did a number on all of us, especially not wanting to come around each other, let alone sit out at a game," Carter said."Now, you start seeing people want to support and be a part of it. I think that’s one of the reasons we’re doing the tailgates is to build things like this. You’re not seeing anything like this people coming out. It’s a slow starter. This is only our second time doing it, but it’ll eventually get there to where people expect it and look for it.
"I just come support these kids," Green said."One of the things that I do is, when the kids see me go to the concession stand, I buy as much stuff as I can for everybody. Just to make a positive connection with some of these kids. ... All I ever ask is if you see me in public, you speak to me. It’s all I ever ask from them."
