AIRMAIL SPOTLIGHT is on Akhia

This week's "AIRMAIL SPOTLIGHT" is on Hudson, OH based Akhia PR & Marketing.

Looking for ways to have fun and raise money for local organizations, Akhia decided to have a "physical challenge" with a CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT.

If you're having/had a Cornhole Tournament and would like to be featured on the CORNHOLE EXPRESS "Airmail Spotlight" - shoot us an email.


Congratulations Akhia, on your successful event!!! Here's what they had to say about their cornhole tournament:

Bean bag toss took on a whole new meaning with the 2nd AKHIA Challenge a cornhole tournament. Like our last physical challenge, we raised money to purchase cans of food for the Akron and Cleveland Food Banks. To enter, each team was asked to make a donation of $30 with all proceeds going toward the purchase canned goods.

With team names like "Corn Stars," "Rough Cuts" and "Dirty Sack Tossers," the completion really heated up. Ultimately, "Someone Better" beat out "The Gushers" in a close final game. From the challenge, AKHIA raised more than $600 to donate to the Food Banks.

Get Cornhole on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!!

When discussing his trip to the White House on NBC's Late Night, Jimmy Fallon talks about his BBQ with the President. As part of the BBQ Fallon learned the great game of cornhole. Even though it looked like he was playing on plastic cornhole boards, he's enjoying the game none the less.

Fallon gets a little red in the cheeks when he finds out the real name of cornhole. That's ok Jimmy...we forgive you. However, don't you think if you can play beer pong on the show it would only be appropriate to play a game of Cornhole on Late Night? We think you should!! Cornhole and Beer Pong go hand in hand in the college life, especially at any tailgate party. Maybe even have musical guests Rhett & Link sing their Cornhole Song for you. Just think about, producers...

Check out the clip of Jimmy learning about cornhole on the July 13th show:
EDIT: Jimmy Fallon clip has been moved off Hulu.

Submit Your Cornhole Board Pics!!

Here at Cornhole Express we love to play cornhole, and know you do too. Do you have pics of your boards or of you having a good time at a tailgate? Shoot us an email with your pics or TwitPic URL at CornholeExpress@gamil.com for a chance to be featured on Cornhole Express.

Some of the best conversations with other tailgaters can get started by someone seeing your cornhole boards and coming over to see where you got them or to compliment a job well done. We thought, "Why not bring that to the internet?" So that's what we're doing.

If you have some sweet cornhole boards and want to show them off, here's your opportunity. Maybe you have pics of you and some friends having a good time at a tailgate or in the backyard. Whatever the occasion, we want to see your pics.

Send your pics or your TwitPic URL to CornholeExpress@gmail.com and get your cornhole boards featured on Cornhole Express.

While you're here take our poll on the right sidebar…and of course follow us on Twitter!!

Looking forward to seeing your cornhole designs! Keep up the cornhole!
