Whether you’re an amateur or a skilled cornholer, sign up for a friendly, fun evening or cornholing and raise some funds to help vulnerable children and build strong families through FESS’s vital programs. Fess serves families in Thurston, Lewis, Mason and Pierce counties. Tourney includes two divisions: two-person social teams for casual players, and an individuals’ super-switch competitive division, using ACL standards. The action will be overseen by the Twin Cities Cornhole League of Centralia and Chehalis. The competition comes in the form of teams (such as firefighters vs. police officers) challenging one another. Prizes go to the three top teams, and a cash prize will be awarded in the super-swith competition. Fun prizes also awarded for categories like “best cornhole costume.” The evening includes a silent auction and a DJ and entertainment by Bobby Williams, founder of the Bridge Music Project.
