--TOSSING BAGS AND MAKING FRIENDS – Check-In at 4050 Pennsylvania Avenue Games Outside--
Cornhole, a game that combines precision, fun, and a little luck, has gained popularity for good reason. It’s simple to play and accessible, boards are regularly available at Westport Bar and Rec and Char Bar. Westport’s hosted tournament will have teams take turns tossing bags toward a raised board with a hole — but the real joy comes from the camaraderie that forms between players. Whether it’s the shared laughter over a lucky shot or taking the “L” for a big miss, the Westport Cornhole Tournament is set to bring people together for a memorable day of fun.
The event will kick off with check-in at 9 a.m. at 4050 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the games will be played outside of Char Bar on Pennsylvania Street starting at 10 a.m. Teams consist of two people who can grab their tournament brackets and get ready to warm up on the boards. The competition may be fierce, with the winning team scoring 21 points first to advance to the next round, but the social aspects of the tournament make it highly enjoyable. Players are encouraged to let their personalities shine through—be it with quirky team names, matching outfits, or creative costumes.
“The tournament will take place rain or shine,” said Tia Simpson, Westport District spokesperson. “We are excited to launch this new event where practically anyone could play – young or old. Teams start playing at 10 a.m., and the tournament brackets allow the winners to keep advancing.”
Teams wishing to participate need to register for $50 per team. For those who would like a fun extra with their games, Westport’s many restaurants, bars, and shops will be open, providing a full day’s worth of entertainment in Kansas City’s most historic neighborhood. As the bags hit the boards, the fun will be in full swing, rain or shine.
