The Iroquois Steeplechase Launches A "Cooler At Home Tailgating"

The 79th Iroquois Steeplechase is Selling a Safer-At-Home Alternative

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –The Iroquois Steeplechase, presented by Bank of America, is launching a “Cooler at Home Tailgating” for a safer-at-home celebration on the event’s cancelled race day Saturday, June 27.

In making the announcement, Iroquois Steeplechase Chairman Dwight Hall said, “Since tailgaters won’t be able to come to the infield on our previously scheduled race day, we’re bringing a cooler full of party goods to them. This way families and friends can still gather and celebrate Nashville’s grand tradition in their own homes and backyards while watching highlights from previous years on News Channel 5 on June 27.”

The “Iroquois Steeplechase Cooler at Home Tailgating” includes:

 • Orca cooler branded Iroquois Steeplechase
• Assortment of Hap & Harry’s Tennessee beer by Lipman Brothers
• Commemorative Iroquois Steeplechase 2020 branded cups
• Publix appetizers and dessert tray for 10
• Lemonade and sweet tea
• Vineyard Vines Iroquois Steeplechase branded bow ties
• Iroquois Steeplechase branded koozies
• Iroquois Steeplechase branded ball caps
• Photograph your at-home tailgate and submit to Your Williamson Magazine for a chance to win a tailgating space for the 80th Anniversary of the Iroquois Steeplechase in 2021
• Photograph your guests in hats and submit to Nashville Lifestyles Magazine for their Hat Contest on social media and in the print magazine
• Submit photos and your party will be included on the Iroquois Steeplechase website

The cost of the package is $500. To order, visit IroquoisSteeplechase.org.

Chairman Dwight Hall added, “We can’t stress enough the importance of raising funds in 2020 to ensure the future of the Iroquois Steeplechase for years to come. We must secure funds to continue operations and to handle expenses which range from course maintenance to fencing, barn upkeep, party decks, irrigation for 18 acres of the course plus all operational expenses such as staffing, insurance, rent and ordinary business expenses. We want our patrons to enjoy the spirit of the Iroquois Steeplechase as they help ensure our future. We hope this helps keep us alive as we jump this hurdle together.”

Organizers are also selling a “Party in a Box” at three levels so patrons can choose the style party they want to host along with their boxholder friends.
