Cornhole...The Official Game of D&F

Over the Thanksgiving weekend we decided to take a page from our Midwest roots and build a Cornhole board. Cornhole is a game that is popular with the Midwest and northeast that is a mix between horseshoes and a beanbag toss. If you tailgate with any regularity you have probably seen people playing Cornhole...you just didn't know it. Below are the pictures from the event and here are the specifications and instructions to build your own.

We spent about $40 on the wood and hardware for the boards and splurged and went with the official Auburn team paints from Glidden which pushed us closer to the century mark. However, if you would like to paint yours with Auburn blue and orange...we got enough paint for about 30 boards. From start to finish it took about all day since we had to wait on paint to dry...but the actual construction of the boards did not take too long.

I enjoyed putting them together. The whole family was involved...even Andrew who entertained us with his Guitar Hero skills. Grizma (Suzy Q) was the seamstress (a word of caution...use heavy material when constructing your bags...ours broke on the first game) and did a great job. Katie filled the bags and Bobby2 helped paint. Grizmo and Seany helped with the manly saw and I kinda just stood around. Christie would have helped but was saving babies...so that is kinda more important. (EDIT: Christie did come up with the design of the board...I was corrected by someone in the comment section)

We will be painting an AU logo on the orange part of the board, but we need to get a stencil first. Overall they look pretty, pretty, pretty good. Let us know if you have any questions...or need some corn (we had to buy a 50 pound bag).
