Enter: Cornhole

Today is a bright, sunny day and a great day for Cornhole. If you've never played Cornhole, you're missing out! When I first heard of Cornhole, I couldn't get past the idea that this must be something that Beevis and Butthead played. Did it have people running around with their shirts on their heads talking about "Corn-holio"?! It's like horseshoes, only with boards with a hole and beanbags (stuffed with corn) to throw instead of heavy metal shoes. A wonderful alternative to horseshoes for kids and it's a fun BBQ game for adults as well. It's pretty popular in these parts, growing in popularity nation wide, there's even tournaments and a Cornhole Association.



Chuck started playing this game at work parties a few years back. Horseshoes used to be the thing, but now it's Cornhole; maybe because it's portable, and it does far less damage to the lawn? (And maybe someone finally figured out that giving a bunch of drinking guys heavy metal things to throw around in a group wasn't the safest idea!) When we moved to Ohio last year, my brother was really into the game, too. So, we invested in our own set, and have gotten our money's worth.

It's nice to hear the *thump* of the bag hitting the board. It's even nicer to hear the neighborhood kids having so much fun with such a simple concept. C'mon over! The weather's fine, and the bags are hittin the boards!
