Get ready to toss some bags and join the fun at the 2nd Annual Country Cornhole Tournament, debuting Friday night during the Christmas in Ida Festival!

This exciting new event invites players of all skill levels—whether you’re a seasoned bagger or brand-new to the boards—to compete under the stadium lights in a lively, festive atmosphere.

Spectators will be amazed as both professional and amateur players showcase their skills, landing bags with impressive accuracy on nearly every toss.

Hosted on Lewis Avenue in downtown Ida, the tournament will follow a Blind Draw and Double Elimination format, professionally managed by BackRoad Baggers LLC. Entry is $20 per person, with 80% of the pot awarded as prize money.

In the event of bad weather, the competition moves indoors to the Ida Fireman’s Pavilion, ensuring the fun continues—rain, snow, or stars.

With roots tracing back to 14th-century Germany, cornhole has become a global pastime, and now it kicks off the Christmas in Ida weekend with a bang. Don’t miss your chance to compete, win prizes, and help launch a new holiday tradition at Christmas in Ida!
