This is the Frontcountry

Frontcountry is the place where people gather before, during, or after an event. For some, the frontcountry is 'The Event.' Tailgating for the game, apres in the ski hill parking lot, waiting for the swell to work at the surf spot-- the highs and lows, the memory building and camaraderie: This is the intersection of anticipation and enjoyment. If a camping chair, grill, games, and cooler are present, you're in the frontcountry.
