November 8, 2010 - Cornhole Challenge will benefit Lights for Life
By MORRIS STEPHENSON – The Franklin News Post
A Lights for Life Cornhole Mixed Challenge Tournament has been scheduled between customers of Game Day Sports Bar and Grill and patrons from both Ippy's and T.J.'s Fat Boys.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Lights for Life memorial fundraiser.
The tournament will be a two-night, 21 and older event covering a period of two weeks. Both men and women are invited to participate.
Action gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, at Game Day and will concluded the following Tuesday, Nov. 23, at Ippy's.
T.J.'s Fat Boys customers will sign up at Ippy's. Jody Mullins, owner of Game Day, and JoDee Jeans, co-owner of Ippy's with Tommy Thomas, held a joint meeting last week to formulate final plans.
There will be singles and doubles competition with trophies going to the winners. The entry fee for the two-night event is $20 per individual ($10 per night).
Jeans and Mullins will square off for "bragging rights" in the final game to conclude the tournament. The loser will wear the competition's t-shirt to work for a week, they agreed.
Team sign-ups have started at the respective restaurants.
The deadline for entering is the end of the business day on Monday, Nov. 15.
"The popularity of this game is sweeping the area. There are a lot of players in Franklin County and the surrounding areas. I think the event will attract a lot of interest and help raise money," Mullins said.
"We wanted to do something between the restaurants to raise money for Lights for Life. We thought this would be a good, fun way of doing it. And we want to invite all the corn hole players to join us in this very worthy project," Jeans said.
