Bean-bag tourney to raise scholarship funds

The Sunrise Rotary Club in Columbus is hosting its second annual World Cup Corn Hole Board Tournament from 4 to 10 p.m. Jan. 21 in the Community Building at the Bartholomew County Fairgrounds, 750 W. County Road 200S.

Participants can register as a two-person team for the country they would like to represent. Limit one team per country.

Registrants are encouraged to wear their country’s colors or traditional costume and bring a related food dish to share. Soft drinks will be provided, but participants may bring their own drinks of choice, and alcoholic beverages are permitted.

Teams are guaranteed to play two games minimum. Participants must be at least 17 years old to play.

The top three finishing teams will receive trophies, and awards will be given for best costume and best food item, too. A silent auction will continue until 8 p.m. All proceeds benefit the Dr. Thor Borgen Scholarship Fund at Ivy Tech, established in memory of the former Sunrise Rotary Club member, and other Sunrise Rotary projects.

Cost is $40 per two-person team by Dec. 28, and $50 afterward; students are $20 per team but must show their student identification upon arrival.

Entry forms are available online at columbus sunriserotary.org. For more information, look on Facebook for the Sunrise Rotary Club page.
