6^TH ANNUAL CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT

FRAKLIN, MA  – – –  On September 8, 2024, the Franklin Odd Fellows hosted their 6^th Annual Arthritis Foundation Cornhole Tournament at the Bellingham Sportsman Club at 360 Lake St., Bellingham, MA 02019.  The sun was out, the temperature was in the mid 70’s, no wind and the humidity was below 50%; an all-around perfect weather day for throwing cornhole bags. Midway through the tournament, the host Odd Fellows lodge served all participants burgers and dogs, salads and cake.   The format of the tournament was set teams with a 4-set round robin and a double elimination final.  Sixteen teams competed with the top 3 teams receiving cash prizes and a 50/50 payout yielding a healthy donation to the Mass Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation and a big improvement over last year’s event.
