Being from New England, I had to go to Wikapedia to find out what the heck cornhold bags were used for. What are the demensions of these bags and what are they filled with. Sounds like a fun game for summer parties! Hope someone can give the answer.

I was told my one of my grandsons, Popcorn kernals is regulation, now I didn't know they even had a set of standards for this game. :roll: :lol: :lol: I am going to Sams this week to pick up a sack of popcorn fill them,close them with the whipstitch then send it all to Florida. Now you can make FootBall logo or whatever sport you want cases for them as she has done... But 24 is a lot that is 3 games...3 Grndsons. So I figured they could improvise,Fabric paint or markers..Right :thumbup: :lol: :lol: My sister made her family abt 2 yrs ago and they used cracked corn, They bags drew moisture and mildew set in. Had to throw it all away. But MY GRNDSON said popcorn kernals woud not do that. OK WE WiLL SEE!!!

Here's a website that shows the game. All the guys plays this around here instead of horseshoes or washers now. It's basically like those two games. And the competition is who has the nicest boards made up, who has the best bean bags....you name it, it's gotta be a guy thing. So I made these for DH, maybe he will be the 'envy' of the guys!
