Participants and spectators will enjoy fun raffles, food and drink. Raffle prizes include cash, and a cornhole scorekeeper and cup holder. Food includes chili and chips.

Cornhole, also known as Tailgate, bean bag toss, doghouse, or simply Bags, is a lawn game in which players take turns throwing bags of corn at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. A bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a team or player reaches the score of 21.
Twin Oaks Park is located at the intersection of College Boulevard and State Road 85 North.
All proceeds benefit the Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida. Dress for the weather, bring your chairs, coolers, and join the fun!
