JOIN US ON A ROADTRIP THAT'S SURE TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

This year, PEMCO Insurance is sending teams of genuine Northwest-loving people to community events and activities across the state. Some are in support of a good cause, some just sound like a good time - but either way, we hope you'll stop by and say hi. Look for us wherever you see the big green PEMCO van. And if we miss each other, drop us a note here and tell us what's on your mind.

Remember, there's no place quite like home, especially this time of year. So get out there and enjoy!

Sounders vs. the New England Revolution: Friendly Fan Competition

During yesterday's pre-game festivities at Qwest Field, PEMCO teamed up with KZOK to celebrate the end of summer and kick-off the fall sports season with a tailgate party.

KZOK set up a mini-soccer field across from the WALLY1 van and sponsored a promotional contest for fans to kick a soccer ball between two cups serving as a makeshift goal. Peter, Caity, and I looked on as KZOK's on-air personality, Pedro, prepared fans for the kick-off:

The best part of the contest? The winners received a PEMCO NW Profile T-Shirt!

Even our very own Peter Young had a go at the contest, but unfortunately for Peter, the ball didn't quite make it between the goal posts. He still insists it's harder than it looks!

Over at the PEMCO booth, everyone showed their best "'I know I am, I'm sure I am' Sounders FC fan" face…

Sounders v Revolution: Fan

Sounders v Revolution: Little fan

Even the littlest fans!

Suffice it to say, KZOK and PEMCO have revolutionized the concept of tailgating! Instead of hotdogs and burgers, this Sounder's tailgate featured something a little different. Thanks for everyone who came out and kicked it with us.

Now that tailgating season has officially begun at Qwest field, we're excited for football season to begin! Look for us at the Seahawks pre-game season game this Saturday, Aug. 22 and get your souvenir photo snapped as a "Supercharged Seahawks Fan"!
