my cornhole

Cornhole. Sounds a little like a dirty phrase, doesn’t it? But it’s the backyard sensation sweeping the nation! Similar to horseshoes, the game is played by tossing things at other things to score points. Unlike horseshoes, this game won’t send someone to the ER if they accidently get hit, because the things you’re tossing are small corn filled bags, instead of heavy metal horseshoes. I took a look at one of the sites selling cornhole bags and this game totally reminds me of preschool. Didn’t you ever toss small bean bags at a board with holes in it? I did - I think that a preschool teacher was probably the one who came up with this concept!

The game is a big deal in the midwest, seeing as how it started in Ohio, and people play it at backyard parties, in the park, and even at tailgating parties. The bags and equipment you can buy at MyCornhole.com are even certified to be correct by the ACA - that’s the American Cornhole Association. They work to standerdize cornhole rules.

Ok, ok, now I’m giggling, because that’s just funny.
