At exactly 10:41 pm on Friday night, May 27, someone driving what appears to be a black pickup truck, traveling south on 4th Street, pulled up to the corner of Main Street. The vehicle stops.

Last Friday evening’s Cornhole Classic attracted 32-teams and 64 players to compete in the tournament, along with plenty of onlookers just happy to be inside the cool shade of Jones Pavilion, enjoying the action, and dining on Beau Bundy’s famous brisket sandwiches. The event was organized by Robert Reyes and Luke Mills to raise funds for the Canadian Wildcat Junior Football League. Proceeds from the tournament, raffle, and food sales totaled over $3,400, which will go into new equipment for the young Wildcats. Reyes expressed his appreciation to the sponsors, without whom the tournament would not have been possible.
