ALBION — Bills fans and veterans alike are in for an unforgettable afternoon at Dubby’s Tailgate in Albion as the community comes together for a Veterans Tailgate, a celebration honoring the service and sacrifice of Orleans County veterans.

On November 8 from 1 to 6 p.m., Dubby’s will be buzzing with live music, sports on the screens, free food and plenty of Buffalo spirit. The event is being hosted by the Red Star Foundation in partnership with Orleans County Veteran Services and promises to be a high-energy mix of football fandom and heartfelt gratitude.

Live music will keep the fun going all afternoon, with Travis Fitch performing an acoustic set from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by local crowd-favorite Who Dats rocking the stage from 3 to 6 p.m. to close out the celebration.

One of the biggest highlights: special guest Del Reid, the co-founder of the Bills Mafia and owner of 26 Shirts, will be in attendance. Reid, a beloved figure in the Bills community, is known not only for rallying fans but also for his tireless charity work. Bills Mafia members will no doubt want to stop by, shake his hand, and show their Buffalo pride.

To keep the tailgate vibes strong, there will be free food for veterans and a guest, including pizza, wings, baked ziti, and beverages. That offer is limited to the first 200 veterans and guests, so registering early is encouraged. For everyone else, Dubby’s will be running specials on food and drinks all day long, making it the perfect spot to cheer, eat, and celebrate together.

“This is about more than just good food and music. it’s about honoring the men and women of Orleans County who have served their country,” said Rich McAdoo from the Red Star Foundation. “And in true Bills Mafia fashion, we’re bringing the community together to make it something special.”

Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, or simply a proud Bills fan, the Veterans Day Tailgate is your chance to show up, say thank you, and enjoy an afternoon of fun, football, and fellowship.

There are spots for up to 200 people for the free event. Veterans can register in advance at www.RedStarFoundation.org/Dubbys.
