OK - when my friend Craig asked if I wanted to play Cornhole, I admit my mind went straight into the gutter. I was trying to decide if I should take a swing at him or run, but he explained that it’s a game, similar in concept to horse shoes with two boxes with holes in them that you toss the bags of corn towards with the intent to make it into the holes.

The next thing that came to mind is that Craig, who lives in Nokesville (yeah…see what I mean) and a few of his friends had consumed just a little too much Wild Turkey liquor and made this up! He assured me that was not the case and had to prove it to me by showing me that there was actually an American Cornhole Association web site (no kidding…I swear I’m not drinking right now).

But when he explained that he wanted to hold a tournament as a fund raiser for his daughter’s high school basketball team…well, I was definitely in for that great cause.
