CARMEN COLLINS EVENTS: Ace in the Cornhole

In the South, we spend our tailgates, barbecues, and sometimes even weddings, playing a lawn game called cornhole. Sound unfamiliar? Think bean bag toss! The only things you need to start playing this game is a cornhole board and a set of four bean bags. You can search the internet high and low for the specific dimensions of how to make a cornhole board but I won't bore you with that. There are only a few things you really need to know. Basic rules state that a bean bag that falls in the cornhole is three points, a bean bag that lands on the cornhole board is one point, and you need 21 points to win. My interest lies in the decor of the cornhole boards and the bean bags. Customizing your board and bags to make them personal to you makes beating your opponent that much sweeter! So have your guy make you a board. Get out your paints and sewing machine. And ace it!
