Fight Cancer with Cornhole

We haven’t heard of any cornhole tournaments in awhile.  While the sport certainly has become pretty popular here in Western PA – if you are new to the game.  Cornhole is kind of like horseshoes but played with bean bags instead of heavy metal objects – probably much safer than horseshoes.

Gilda’s Club is hosting a Cornhole Tournament on Saturday, August 20, 2011 – spend an afternoon tossing some bean bags, meeting some of the great people from Gilda’s Club and supporting a good cause.

Bean Bag/Cornhole/Tailgate Toss Players Wanted

Cornhole is a game that goes by many different names – bean bag toss, baggo, tailgate toss (there are many other names listed on the Wikipedia page too).  It is kind of like horse shoes but with bean bags instead.  Click here for game instructions.

There is quite a following of the game here in Western, PA. PUMP offers a league that plays Tue nights at Buffalo Blues in Shadyside – more info here. The Double Wide Grill has some cornhole boards out on their patio too.

Bernie George has organized a few tournaments and is looking for other people who want to play – if you are interested leave a comment here or send me an email info – at – Iheartpgh.com.

Pittsburgh Bean Bag Toss Tournament – McKeesport

Lindsay’s Note: I have edited the title from Cornhole to Bean Bag Toss tournament. Also – I know that McKeesport isn’t in Pittsburgh but, bean bag toss is awesome and I think that everyone should make the trip to McKeesport for this event. I am still looking for a team mate if anyone wants to play on Sunday.
