Cornhole tournament at Open Sky

Open Sky Community Services is excited to announce the 9th Annual Valley Bag Toss, an inclusive cornhole tournament being held October 14th at the Alternatives’ Whitin Mill in Whitinsville. The Valley Bag Toss presents the perfect opportunity to show off the cornhole skills you developed over a summer at barbecues and picnics with friends and family. Beyond simply being fun, the funds raised at the tournament support Open Sky’s health and wellness programs for the more than 5,000 individuals served by the agency throughout Central Mass.

People of all abilities, age 14+, are invited to participate in this friendly competition scheduled to be held at 50 Douglas Rd. Whitinsville, Mass. on Saturday, Oct. 14 (Oct. 15 rain date) from 12pm-5pm.

The Bag Toss features live music by Dynamite Rhythm, food available for purchase from the Kith ‘n Kin food truck, a cash bar, a raffle with over $500 worth of prizes, and of course, cornhole competition. However, the cornhole boards used at this competition are not your typical boards. Handmade by local artist, designer and woodworker Nick Hollibaugh, each set of boards is unique and beautifully crafted. In fact, the top team will win a set of Hollibaugh’s boards. Spectators are welcomed and encouraged, but you don’t need to be a cornhole master to play! Prizes are also awarded for best team name, best team uniform, and team spirit. Sponsors so far include Arbor Associates and Nydam’s Landscaping.

Sponsorship opportunities are available, and information can be found at www.openskycs.org/valleybagtoss.

Pre-registration is required, and the tournament is likely to sell out, so before going out to take those extra practice tosses, sign up online at http://www.openskycs.org/valleybagtoss
