KICKOFFS & COCKTAILS FLORIDA/GEORGIA WEEKEND While finding a ticket for this time-honored tradition is about as easy as finding a human hair on Donald Trump’s corpulent crown, the Florida/Georgia Weekend (Go Gators!

A flurry of events surround this pigskin party – did you know the teams trade headlining each year? 2016 is actually Georgia/Florida, but nobody we know admits to it), and wandering solo around RV City can give you a wellspring of anecdotes to tell your therapist.
