Recently, cornhole made big news when it had
a cover story for the Wall Street Journal. I have to admit that I was a
little shocked when this midwestern game made national news, but it has
been great for the sport and fantastic for introducing people to the
game.
The jist of the article was highlighting some of the history of the
game as well as talking about the areas that it has grown in
popularity. They also mentioned that a number of companies are
profiting from the growth of the sport, including the company that
makes Golden Tee Arcade Game who has released a game called "Bags"
which is a video game of cornhole. The article also cited the new
cornhole movie that is coming out and talked about some of the major
tournaments that have been happening in various areas of the country.
We obviously have seen the growth of the game as well. Each and
everyday we are seeing more and more orders come in from all over the
country. It's not uncommon to get a note from a customer who says that
they just got back from a weekend in Ohio or IL where they played
cornhole and they couldn't wait to get their own cornhole bags. Or the occasional
person that just can't wait to play and is willing to pay overnight
shipping for a set of cornhole boards. Lets hope that
the growth of the game continues!
