The bean bags were flying at Barney’s Adventure Park this past weekend with the first annual Great Canadian Badlands Toss-Off Cornhole Tournament.
They had a number of teams register for the event on Saturday, which had a top prize of $10,000. Ashley Larson from Barney’s Adventure Park shares that they were pleased with the turnout for the first event. ” Twelve teams we had turnout and a lot of the teams were local. We had one that wasn’t. It was all ages too, we had kids and Dads. Lots of local teams and a local team won.”
Larson admits that a cornhole tournament at Barney’s just made sense. “We wanted to do something a little bit bigger and we weren’t quite sure what that was going to be. We always joked about a cornhole tournament. That is what we have always done for crew parties and so we took it and made it a little bit bigger.”
The local team that won was Norm Fournier and Larry Needham, taking home the $10,000 purse. Larson shares that the winners were surprised to take the win. “They were very excited. I don’t think they came expecting to win at all.” They also had a family fun tournament on Sunday and was well received by those who participated.
Larson believes that this event will continue next year. As for Barney’s Adventure Park, they have a couple of spooky weekends ahead before wrapping up the season. “Coming this weekend (October 11, 12) we have our Dinos After Dark on Friday and Saturday evening. The trail is getting all set up and the kids are getting ready for some scaring. We are also running it for two weekends this year.” The event will take place starting at 5:30 until 10:00 PM October 11, 12, 18, and 19. This weekend is the final full weekend of Barney’s for the season and they are open on Thanksgiving Monday. Visit their website for all the details and to purchase passes.
