Las Vegas, NV – Freedom Grill has announced the winners for their inaugural Extreme Tailgating Design Awards contest for project vehicles at the 2007 SEMA Show. Taking First Place honors was John Llado of Wild Side Customs out of Wildomar, CA for his lifted blue flamed 2008 Chevy 2500HD.
“Tailgating is about personalization and John’s treatment of the Freedom Grill FG-50 with paint and pin striping to match the rest of the truck looks terrific,” commented Scott Salter, Freedom Grill’s Founder. “This Silverado would really turn some heads rolling into the stadium parking lot”.
Llado was presented his award by Miss Freedom Grill 2008, Holly Weber. The Freedom Grill design award is a custom etched, full-size beer pitcher and in true tailgating fashion at the urging of the crowd Llado finished off the full pitcher at the presentation. He also received a gift card from Tailgater Meats for premium gourmet cuts of beef.
