Team Holey Calamity represent!

Back at the end of August, Power Creative hosted it’s first-annual Cornhole tournament to benefit the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We raised some $2000+ dollars for the cause – thanks to the 40+ two-man teams that signed up. A bracket-style tournament thus ensued with 13 different cornhole sets set up on Power’s campus. Fried chicken and sweet tea was served and we had a good old time.

Wait a minute… CORNHOLE?!

For those of you who don’t know what this is… it’s essentially horseshoes with beanbags (filled with corn). You throw at a hole in a 2′ wide, 4′ long board with a hole in it, 27′ away. Three points in the hole, one point on the board. It’s a tailgating/NASCAR thing. I had long eschewed it, but it’s a simple game to learn, hard to master. Like bocce!

I partnered up with Charlie “Chadillionaire” Dillon and thus was formed team “Holey Calamity” (from Handsome Boy Modeling Schools’ So… How’s your girl? album). I even fashioned my own cornhole set (from these printable cornhole plans!) with our team logo (see shirts above). We’d only played cornhole once or twice before, but we managed to take 2nd in the tournament! It was great fun and I’m looking forward to it again next year for sure.
