Super Bowl Sunday is kind of like Thanksgiving minus the family ties. Any Super Bowl host worthy enough to take on the challenge of a house party must provide an array of indulgent dips, snacks, alcoholic (non-alcoholic for the driver) beverages, and a TV screen wide enough to capture the hearts and wallets of consumers watching commercials in-between the stop and start of a football game. It’s an extraordinary event and to all those who are prepping for a pigskin BBQ or party, we wish you the best of luck and be safe, stay hydrated. Monday is a work day. Below are some South Bay Events happening this weekend.
