Fun with Corn Hole
This past weekend, my husband's college buddies came to visit so that we could all attend the NC State v. FSU football game. Sadly, the Wolfpack lost the game, but we had a great time playing corn hole all weekend. Corn hole? What's that you might be asking?
It's kind of like horseshoes but with bean bags. Our friend Fritts made a corn hole set in his wood working studio and proudly shared it with us this weekend. We had a blast pitching the bean bags (filled with corn) into the hole (thus the name "corn hole") and perfecting the art of throwing bean bags!
We had the most fun playing in the parking lot in the rain tailgating before and after the game. Apparently it's a popular game up north and at NASCAR events, but it seems as though noone in Tallahassee had seen it played. We got some strange looks for sure! To learn more, visit the American Cornhole Association's website.
It's a fun, wholesome, easy to play, family friendly game. A nice change from being caught up with watching television...
When was the last time you played a fun, silly game outside in the rain? You could try croquet or kickball or frisbee or bocci at your next gathering.
But at our house, corn hole is the new favorite. Come visit us and we'll play!

Glad to see word of this great game is spreading. If you're in need of cornhole supplies, check us out at http://www.cornhole.com. We've also got a pretty solid blog running at http://www.cornholeblog.com.
Corn hole isn't new!
As a proud Midwesterner, I was amused to see that Corn Hole was a new discovery for your gang. Though I've only played it once, it is pretty much a national past time here in south west Ohio - tournaments, art projects, family parties - you name it - it's as common here as beer and hot dogs! There's a snapshot of the midwest for you!
