This is the 6th Annual Rock N Green Tomato Festival, and the Cornhole tournament has become a tradition as well.  This is one of Dayton’s biggest tournaments, but the atmosphere is laid back and background activities are live bands and food and craft vendors.   It is a perfect chance to bring the family, a few lawn chairs and let them listen to the free music and enjoy the kids activities as well.

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON CORNHOLE:

— It is essentially a bean bag toss towards a board, 33 feet away

— You get 4 bean bag tosses each turn

— Object is to accumulate points by throwng your bag into the hole, or landing it on the board

— The strategy is to also keep your opponent from scoring points

— The first team to score 21 points, wins
