Cornhole

When I was last out at the Dunes I saw a group of rowdy teenagers tossing beanbags through holes cut in two boards (one painted Sox colors, the other Cubs colors). If only I’d know they were cornholing.

    Same thing going on at Warren Dunes last weekend! Could it be the same people??

    At family functions, I cornhole with my relatives all the time.

    Somehow that doesn’t sound right…cornholing? I’ll stick with bean bag toss.

    That bean bag toss has been around forever. Now it’s being played on many city blocks as part of Happy Hour, and folks are really putting in some time decorating and painting their boxes. Better that than putting gang signs on my garage!

    I stick with bags or bean bags…cornhole seems like its the official name of the game though. this site has building instructions if anyone wants to build their own.

    Man Fuzzy, you say it is everywhere… and then it is. My neighbors across the street were cornholing it up for a good 4 – 5 hours this weekend over BBQ and beers. The following day, the people about 3 houses down and across the street spent the afternoon playing cornhole. Matt kept accidentally calling it “Hide the Corn Nut”, which I think is a much better name.
