Corn Hole

A bunch of us got together to play Cornhole. What do you do when you live in the Midwest and you don't have any horse shoes but you do have an abundance of corn? Invent a new game. A favorite of tailgates and backyard barbeques...Cornhole.Apparently Cornhole has a long and steeped history. The game is played by setting two boards opposite each other. The boards each have a hole cut in them. Alternating turns, teams try to toss sacks of corn toward the opposite board. Points are awarded if the sack lands on the board or goes through the hole. Specific rules outline other do's and don'ts.The game is taken very seriously and even has a national association from which championship trophies are awarded to winning teams.

I'm trying to figure out how this game can be adapted for the Pacific Northwest--perhaps sacks of rain?!

We made it back to this side of the pond on Monday and are enjoying spectacular summer weather (for a change.)
