AZ Cheeseheads (and a couple of Texans)
Submitted by shelterbran
I am a born an raised Texasn. My husband is from Wisconsin and HUGE Packer fan. This has been a bit of a rivalry between my husband and family for years, though a friendly one. (DId I mention I'm a Packer fan?)
A combination celebration of the two (or moreP of the teams is a fun way to make sure everyone enjoys the party regardless of their team loyalty. For us, it would be Packers and Cowboys with a couple of Viking fans thrown in.
Food would include a spread os Texas and Yankee favorites.
