What better way to knock off the winter blues, wake from hibernation and loosen your frigid muscles than with two great cornhole outings? The 2024 season of the Margate Cornhole League, sponsored by The Silva Group at OCF Realty, kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 25 with the indoor Winter Classic Tournament hosted by the Milton and Betty Katz Jewish Community Center. Players can register in advance at margatehasmore.com or in person at the JCC beginning at 11:15 a.m. Play begins at noon. Entry is $50 for this double-elimination tournament. Each two-person team will vie for cash prizes for first through third place. Food, courtesy of Dino’s Subs and Pizza, and beverages from Sunrise Wine & Tequila Bar will be available for purchase throughout the afternoon. It’s the perfect opportunity to get out with friends, sharpen your eyes and get in shape for the upcoming season!
In what has become a rite of spring, the thaw begins in earnest with Speed Bag Saturday presented by Marketplace Realty on Saturday, April 6 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. This annual favorite puts a new spin on cornhole as teams play for 10 minutes at each of the four host sponsor locations, and try to accumulate as many points as possible to win great prizes for the top 3 teams. Games will be played at Ventura’s Greenhouse, Robert’s, Bocca. and Maynard’s. Each will provide a free appetizer and drink specials. Even better, no worries about driving to each location and parking hassles; Free jitney rides between all the venues are provided by the Margate Business Association. The cost for each team is $25 and registration is at margatehasmore.com.
