Bag Toss at Open Sky

Open Sky Community Services announces the 10th Annual Valley Bag Toss, an inclusive cornhole tournament from 12 – 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Alternatives’ Whitin Mill, 50 Douglas Road, Whitinsville. The Valley bag Toss presents the perfect opportunity to show off the cornhole skills you developed over the summer at barbecues and picnics. Besides being a lot of fun, the finds raised at the tournament support Open Sky’s health and wellness programs for the nearly 8000 individuals served by the agency throughout Central Mass.
People of all abilities, age 14 and over are invited to participate in this friendly competition. The Bag Toss will feature live music by Smooth & Company, food will be available for purchase from the BBQ and y Mas food truck, a cash bar, airbrush tattoos and other activities, a raffle with over $500 worth of prizes, and of course, the cornhole competition.
Keep in mind, the cornhole boards used at this competition are  not at all typical. Handmade by local artist, designer and woodworker Nick Hollibaugh, each set of boards is unique and beautifully crafted. The top team will win a set of Hollibaugh’s boards. Prizes will also be awarded for the first and second runners up, best team name, team spirit and team costume. Competitors of all levels and abilities are invited to join the fun! Spectators will be warmly welcomed. 
Sponsors include Arbor Associates, Koopman Lumber and Foxy Travel. Sponsorship opportunities are available and information can be found at www.openskycs.org/valleybagtoss.
