One of the best things about summertime is BBQs and outdoor games. One of our personal favorites in cornhole, also known as bags, tailgate toss, bean toss, Indiana horseshoes, corn toss, lawn toss, baggo, chuck-o, and about a hundred other names. There seem to be about as many origin stories as there are names, but one things for sure: it’s a popular game to play. No matter what you call it, it’s a great backyard activity for people of all ages.  

Whether you’re hoping to enjoy it with your kids or raise the stakes with official game regulation rules, there’s plenty of opportunity to play this summer. As the fastest growing league sport, you might even find a team to connect with to enter some competitions around Iowa. If you’re going to be playing around Iowa, you might as well do it with some true Iowa pride.

We are currently creating a custom Hawkeye design for one of our clients. Custom boards make for a great piece that can be used at home or while tailgating before the next big game. You can use it as a way to strike up conversation about the game and teach people expressions like, “holy moly triple cornholy,” which is when you successfully throw three bags in the board hole. Who knew? 

Whether you’re rocking out to The Cornhole Song this summer or working on becoming The Great Cornholio (a person that throws all four bags in the hole and traditionally makes everyone bow down the them), we want to make sure you can do it with a board you love. If you have a custom design in mind, we’re happy to bring your vision to life. We’ve also got some already-made boards ready to go that you can check out here.
