Cornhole!


Okay, this one's pretty funny. I imagine it's pretty safe to reprint the entire press release:

Strickland announces 2008 Cornhole Tournament Tour

Governor Strickland announced that he will hold a statewide cornhole tournament, officially dubbed the Ted Strickland for Governor 2008 Cornhole Tournament Tour.

Cornhole enthusiasts can sign up to play in the singles bracket or team up in the doubles bracket. Governor Strickland will kick off every tournament – to be held throughout the summer in eight locations around Ohio. And the State Championship will be played at Ted’s annual birthday party in Lucasville on September 20th.

The Ohio Corn Growers Association is the official tour sponsor and many other organizations are participating. The Carpenters union is constructing 20 official Cornhole sets for the tour which will be painted bright yellow with the tour’s official logo. The Wholesale Beer and Wine Association will be on site providing beverages.

If you want to join in on the summer fun call (614) 221-3287 or email rsvp@tedstrickland.com. Space is limited - so reserve your spot today!

Note that it's the campaign, not the actual governor's office, if that kind of thing bothers you. But still, that's kind of awesome.
