Corn hole Bags and Extras Prove Popularity
|
Corn hole,
also referred to as cornhole, is a simple game somewhat reminiscent of
horseshoes. Players take turns tossing small corn hole bags
filled with dried seed corn at an angled plywood target. They
accumulate points based upon the quality of their throws until one
person collects enough points to be deemed the winner. Corn
hole started as a diversion for a few Midwesterners, but its popularity
has soared in recent years. This little backyard game has
received national media attention and games are being organized from
coast to coast and from Minnesota to the border with Mexico.
The games’ popularity is evidenced by the surprising number
of products being produced for players. It may be hard for
those who remember Cornhole Bags as a local Sunday afternoon
time-waster to believe that corn hole is becoming an industry.
Consider a few of the products offered to corn hole aficionados.
The bags. The prospect of sewing up your own bags
of seed corn is a thing of the past. Duck canvass bags filled
with dried corn are now available in a wide range of colors.
You can even find custom bag manufacturers and a few corn hole supply
companies have obtained official licensing from major league and NCAA
programs to place popular team logos on the bags. The
boards. Today’s corn hole player won’t be using scrap plywood
and some left over house paint to build a board.
High-quality Cornhole
Boards are available in every imaginable color. As
with the bags, you can even find a board that features your favorite
sports team’s logo.
The clothes. You can buy a t-shirt proclaiming your love of
the game. There are scores of corn hole t-shirts and caps
available featuring bag toss-related saying or images. If you
take your cornhole seriously, you can now look the part. The
bag for the bags. One aspiring entrepreneur is selling custom
shoulder bags in which a baggo player can place his corn hole
bags. It has a nifty emblem on the side and is hyped as a
convenient means of transporting one’s equipment.
There are many products out there and more are likely to hit store
shelves, web sites and catalog pages as the popularity of this fun game
continues to escalate. These corn hole “extras” certainly
prove just how popular the game is.
