Bags flew and teams competed to not only win a recent cornhole tournament, but to raise money for a worthy cause as well.
The Rotary Club of Amherstburg teamed with the McGregor Columbian Club Hall to present a cornhole tournament in late March.
A total of 15 teams turned out to participate with proceeds going to Easter Seals of Windsor-Essex County.
“We had a good turnout,” said Rotary Club of Amherstburg president Jeremy Warnock. “I think it’s an excellent turnout for our first time.”
Easter Seals is a long-standing non-profit organization that the Rotary Club contributes to and this year is no exception. It was a new twist for Amherstburg Rotarians to raise money for Easter Seals through a cornhole tournament, but Warnock said the idea was brought to the club and it was endorsed.
When it was brought up at a Rotary Club meeting, Warnock said “absolutely” when he heard the idea. Cornhole is gaining popularity in the area and Warnock was playing on one of the 15 teams. Other Rotarians played with people from the community also participating and getting involved.
The cornhole tournament also featured a 50/50 draw and door prizes.
