Ron and Val Ives (with additional child labor provided by Olivia) made these boards for my associations as a gimmick to promote our industry “Team Building Night” for the regional construction specifiers conference and trade show. (even though I realize that Cornhole is barely a team sport which is why it took some real pitch work to get it approved as the game/giveaway for the exhibit)
They were a huge hit (which I totally knew they would be) and we were far and away the most popular booth in the entire place. (except with our neighbors whose exhibits kept being hit by errant throws – by a miracle no one was injured)
I wanted to make sure they got posted so Val and Ron could see how great they looked after they were lettered and everything. When I called FastSigns to have them lettered I told him I had something weird for him to do, and after hearing what I wanted, he told me that they letter those boards all the time. Evidently, I’m behind the curve, again. But not too far behind since scads of folks told me last night that they had seen it, but never played.
The set now has a new home with an association membership prospect and many more were converted to the game having tried it on such awesome boards! – Great job, Ives!
