Miner Street Market’s cornhole league wraps up summer of fun BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
This summer, dozens of people spent their Monday evenings playing cornhole on Miner Street. They loved the sense of camaraderie, the game, the prizes and the
atmosphere that balances a relaxing and casual feel with high-energy competition. “It’s a super-fun group of people,” Floyd Hill’s Janine Schriner said. “It doesn’t matter the skill level; everyone has fun playing.” On Aug. 30, the Rocky Mountain Cornhole league concluded its summer play with one final tournament along the 1600 block of Miner Street. Schriner and her husband, Hunter, used to play at the rec center with Idaho Springs’ Mike Hill, who organized this summer’s league for

the market. So, when the Schriners saw that local cornhole was back, they spent about six Mondays of their summer participating. Hill said the league averaged 14-16 players each Monday, with about 20 at Aug. 30’s season finale. Hill felt the season had been a success overall, as it promoted business at several Miner Street establishments and gave people something fun to do outside on a summer evening. “I would love to bring it back next year,” he continued. “I think the (business) owners are on board.”

Each week, the league rotated around local restaurants with El Azteca hosting the Aug. 30 event. The restaurants offered discounts on drinks and appetizers for the players, who were competing for some serious prize money. With each player paying $10 to enter, Hill said that depending on how many were competing, the firstplace team might split $100. There were cash prizes for the second- and third-place teams as well.
