Who knew when I wrote about playing with my friend's Cornhole (game!) a month ago, that article would quickly become one of our most popular?
So, I decided to find out everything I could about this FUN game...
And, after playing it myself for the first time just weeks ago, I have to admit... while I had terrible aim, no power, and barely scored any points, it was a heck of a way to pass the time!
Look Who's Playing Cornhole...
This backyard game of yesteryear is making a HUGE comeback these days. In fact, Cornhole is becoming the trendy new bean bag game in the U.S.!Practically every week, I hear of another person touting the praises of Cornhole, like Dierks Bently (of Country Music fame -- "What Was I Thinkin?", "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do"), who says it's his band's favorite thing to do between gigs!
In Illinois (and plenty of other places I'm sure), they even have what they call Bag Bars where they play this bean bag toss game religiously... over beer! Now, THAT's my kind of bar game!

There are several directions for building your own cornhole game, including dimensions here:

This game has been around since the mid-nineties in San Diego. But there are three holes each with a different value and you use Washers about 2 inches wide. The scoring platforms are about 6 to 8 feet apart.
We call it WaShoes(washer horse shoes)
Great resource for promoting the game...it is much appreciated. You can find great cornhole products at http://www.cornhole.com if you are interested.

Those Cornhole boards belong to our friends Neil & Abby.
Abby wrote here the following:
"My sister ordered the cornhole boards as a gift for me (from CornPentry.com, as Lynnette already posted). My sister has ordered several from this site, and has been happy with them, but I haven't seen any other than the ones we have."
