Cornhole Time In Tennessee



"Cornhole" or "Baggo" is a game we have come to love. It is the mainstay of any successful cookout. Well maybe that's taking it to extreems, but it is a fun game. Whether you're playing for fun or in a serious backyard tournament, this game is a great way to have a good time. Envious of our friends' custom sets, we decided to be crafty and make our own baggo set. While not perfect, they were fun and reasonably easy to make. Everything is done by hand including the chekerboard and the Power "T" for Tennessee!


Looking to make your own set, here is the site we used. You will find instructions on the board specifications as well as the bean bag dimentions and popular fillers. This site gives you step-by-step directions with pictures. (FYI: Lowe's will cut the plywood into sections for you AND if you want to paint them your team's official color Lowe's and Home Depot carry most NCAA offical colors.) Looking for the offical rules or starting your own Cornhole league... visit the American Cornhole Association site to find out more!


Happy Tossing!
