Big Thanks To Our Committee, Sponsors And Tourney Helpers

A huge shoutout to the Herons Glen Cornhole Committee for organizing this event as well as the numerous volunteers (e.g., court monitors, setup and teardown individuals and our sound man Tom Foster) who gave their time and special skills to ensure this tournament ran flawlessly and resulted in being such a huge success. A special thank-you also goes to Denise Fell and Shelly Christiansen who spent countless hours in the coordination of this Cornhole Tournament as well as the following individuals who used their carpentry skills to craft eight sets of identical cornhole boards.

• Ron Decker

• Mike Fell

• Bruce and Mary Kelley

• Tom and Sally Fleshman

We are thrilled to report that due to the GENEROUS donations from residents $5,100 was raised which is the amount needed to buy the required cornhole equipment (e.g., cornhole boards, bags and Astroturf for protecting the shuffleboard play surface) for future play on the shuffleboard courts.

Cornhole would not have been possible if there wasn’t the support of the Herons Glen Recreation District Board of Directors and the residents who have shown support in so many ways (participation in the tournament, cheering for those in the tournament, positive words to the members of the Cornhole Committee, etc.) to make cornhole a sanctioned activity in Herons Glen. Thanks again!

See you on the courts this fall!
