Cornhole event aims to help Paint the Town Pink, grow sport
Jan. 27—Each year Paint the Town Pink will usually have at least one or two new events and this year's event is hoping to capitalize on a rising popularity.
Hwy 218 Cornhole will be hosting Toss for a Cure Bean Bag Tournament from 9 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11. Both a singles and doubles competitions will be held and 50% of the door money will go to The Hormel Institute.
"I had worked with The Hormel Institute over the summer and they brought up if we wanted to join together," said Hwy 218 Cornhole owner Scott Nelson. "I just know it's a big local community supported event."
Nelson said that introducing the cornhole community to PTTP was a logical choice.
"It doesn't have to be one thing or this," Nelson said. "The cornhole family does a lot of many kinds of fundraising."
Preregistration is preferred by going to Scoreholio or by emailing hwy218cornhole@yahoo.com. For singles play, competitors need to be registered by 9 a.m. on Feb. 11 at a cost of $30 per player. Play will start at 9:15 a.m.
