This photo is a critical necessity to dispel the obvious false conclusions right up front. The discerning individual will also notice that the stylish baseball cap bears the emblazoned logo and text of the American Cornhole Organization or ACO!

The fashionable Nokesville cornhole enthusiast will be wearing this hot number during the 2008 season. I feel slightly obligated to comment that despite the …uhm….slightly gay pose of Jeremy on the left, his girlfriend Shannon was present to keep him under control for most of the day! Tim on the right is the designer of the fashion piece de resistance!

The field of dreams during the morning setup. Surveyors transits and high level calculus was utilized to ensure that the cornhole boxes (targets?) were properly aligned and the proper distance apart per ACA regulations!

One of the event organizers and also affectionately (at least by fellow Nokesvillers) known as the "Cornhole King". Before you let that thought wander into the dark recesses of your mind, refer back to photo number 2!

Practice. Shannon on the left may have been a "ringer" as I witnessed her playing an "average" game until she decided to pull out all of the stops and shut her opposing team down later with three successful ....cornholes (I wonder what the proper terminology is for a hole in one?).

Toni - the lovely hostess of the event location prepares the first bratwursts and hot dogs for some culinary counterpoint to the keg of beer that had already been tapped.

Devin, one of the other event organizers, is critically eyeing the field of dream layout in preparation for the tournament to begin.

The tournament is ready to begin

The battle lines have been drawn. It will be a double-elimination tournament.

The crowd in the cheap seats, watching the hair raising event unfold.

Several of the Prince William Tiger beneficiaries of the fund raiser event.

Based on those expressions, I would have to believe they are not witnessing a promising performance on someones part?

What do I do with this bag of corn?

Concentration! This is where "ringer" Shannon ended up shutting the game down in a hurry with three successive perfect shots.

Ethan, as do all skilled game participants, looks over the "lay" of the field of dreams from a higher vantage point to get the best "read" on how the cornhole bag will fly!

Do I read some skepticism on that look?

Someone....the recipient of the look being given by Jessica...might be in trouble! But thats just my opinion when I witnessed this scene. Note - this was not directed at the photographer (I believe?).
