ACO supports PURPLE PEOPLE BRIDGE

with CORNHOLE 13 EVENT at Party in the Park.

The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce has invited American Cornhole team to run it's Cornhole 13 event throughout the 2008 Party in the Park season at the Yeatman's Cove festival. The American Cornhole Organization is working with the Southbank Bridge Company which owns and operates the non-profit organization to support and maintain the Purple People Bridge. Thanks to our friends at Mac Productions we have been able to create a unique score board for the official ACO Challenger Game - Cornhole 13.

We ran the first event this past week (April 23, 2008) with great success. The game in the future will run with participants paying $2.00 to play and a portion of proceeds benefitting the Purple People Bridge.

About the event - players compete either as singles or doubles trying to make 13 cornholes in the quickest time. We have ten teams or players competing at one time with a maximum time limit of five minutes per heat.

It was Mike Sensel placing first last week with a time of 2:01 in the singles match. The event had more than several hundred players compete in the evening. We are going to be back this Wednesday April 30th for another repeat performance and will then be there every other Wednesday throughout the Summer months.

We are currently are looking for sponsors for this event if interested contact Frank Geers at 513.965.8687 about sponsorship opportunities.
