Cornhole Tournament held at Chuck's on Main Street.

Registration is $20.00 per Team ($10.00 per Team Member). All proceeds benefit Battle Academy. Registration begins immediately. Register by e-mailing Carol at carolhuckaby@yahoo.com. The first 14 Teams to sign up and submit the entry fee are guaranteed to play. You must submit the fee to Carol, in person. In the e-mail you must include all of the following:

1. Team Name: (Be Creative!)

2. Team Members: Please Note - There are 2 players on a Team, so there should be 2 names here.

3. Contact information: phone/additional email address

The time allotted for the tournament allows 16 teams maximum. First come - first serve. This will be a Single Elimination Tournament.

Prizes will be awarded to the winning team. Details TBA...

Registration begins immediately. Final registration is confirmed upon submission of $20.00 registration fee. Questions? Email us at cornhole@sscowart.com

The Game of Cornhole: The Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole boards and corn bags instead of metal stakes and horseshoes. The cornhole boards are placed apporximately 30ft apart, and are 2' x 4', with a 6'' hole. Contestants score by landing corn bags either on the board (1 point) or in the hole (3 points). Teams split up with 1 team member from each team at either end of the playing course.

Opponents take turns tossing each of 4 corn bags per contestant. The scoring for each round is determined by the net difference the high scorer and the low scorer. (For example if player 1 from Team A tosses 3 bags that land on the the board and player 1 from Team B tosses 4 bags that land on the board, then the net score for that round is 1 pt for Team B.) For more information on specific rules and other information about the game, see playcornhole.org. The tournament will be played to the rules shown on this website.

Grant/McCallie Interior Design Lab Open House

Grant/McCallie interior design lab is a new full service interior design firm. Jane Grant and Keith McCallie have a combined experience of over 30 years and have a passion for interior design. Their portfolio includes a variety of notable projects throughout the city (we're not naming names, but EPB and Greenlife, to mention a few). Motivated by a love of excellent design, Grant/McCallie interior design lab offers a unique combination of creative, technical and innovative design solutions for commercial interiors. We make the details work on the inside of the building. If "lab" conjures up a place with mad scientists and bubbling beakers, well that's not us. We may get a little crazy at times, but we know how to make it work for our clients.
