All our bags are packed.

Cornhole bags that is! Who's ready for a tournament?? Well, we are and tomorrow is quickly approaching. It's like today is Christmas Eve and a big party is planned for Christmas Day! So excited to see all the shining faces, eyebrow raises, and squinted eye, lip curling stare downs as the big face offs begin tomorrow. It's not the Stanley Cup or NBA Championship, but the winner's trophy in this event is far more valuable...just wait and see.

Making our list and checking it twice....

we like you all whether you're naughty or nice. Orders, donations, and raffle prizes are continuing to filter in and bring huge smiles to our faces! Everything is actually coming together as we had planned. We are getting very antsy for the bag throwing, heckling, and good times to begin. Thank you again for all of the support and let's keep this rhythm up!

Lessons Shmessons.

We Cornhole Chicas are learning some serious lessons today - creeping deadlines, hidden fees, out-of-state woes, photoshop jargon, email pitfalls, communication barriers, and so on. What we don't already know, we are learning (or making up) on the fly! That's the fun thing about stumbling a little, there's always a chance to redeem yourself again as chalk it up to 'lessons learned.' Only 5 more days to encounter pre-tourney lessons, then comes the debrief!

Thank you for taking the time.

I was stopped by two ladies today that were from out of town that needed help finding the Metra train. I wasn't 100% sure of the entrance, but had a pretty good idea. So, I took a moment to cross the street with them to point them in the right direction. When they walked away, they said "thank you for taking the time to help us." As I biked home, their words kept resonating in my mind. It is kind of silly, but their simply phrase hit my heart in just the right spot. To all of those who are coming out to play, buying raffle tickets, donating items, spreading the word, bringing their friends out, sending an email to say 'wish I could be there', following our blog & facebook page, etc...all we can say is "thank you for taking the time". Small words with big meaning. See you in KC in exactly 2 weeks from today.
