Did You Know that Shreveport/Bossier Has a Cornhole Club?
I'll admit, I had trouble deciding whether or not to file this story under 'sports!' It turns out that cornhole isn't just for tailgating and backyard barbecues anymore! There's an actual Shreveport/Bossier Cornhole Association with almost 600 members on Facebook and they're holding a tournament at Mudbug Madness Saturday, May 25, 2019!
There's some serious money to be made, too! The Mudbug tournament has prizes of $1,000, $500, and $250 for first, second the third place winners respectively. Those winnings might even grow if they get a good turnout.
Want to get involved? Entry for your two-person team is $50 and you can register on-site from 11 am - 12 pm. The bags will start flying at 1 pm. It's a double-elimination tournament and you can pre-register by emailing sbcaregister@yahoo.com. What could be better than cornhole, beer, mudbugs, and great music? FYI - the Molly Ringwalds are playing that night:)
Here's Mudbug Social Media chair Tony Simpson and Volunteer Chair Elissa Little to tell us more and also introduce us to the founders of the Shreveport/Bossier Cornhole Association! (It feels weird just typing that out!)
