Hillsboro FFA Chapter hosts Festival of the Bells corn hole tournament

By
-

On July 4, the Hillsboro FFA held their annual corn hole tournament at the Festival of the Bells.

There were 20 teams of two people that participated.

The cost to enter the tournament was $20 per team. First, second and third place teams each received a portion of the money earned. The rest of the money went to the Hillsboro FFA Chapter.

Kaleb Harp and Erin Clark were in charge of putting the event on this year. Members of the chapter brought the corn hole boards from home, and a total of 10 sets of boards were brought to be played on. The tournament was set up in a single-elimination bracket.

The money raised goes toward the activities the chapter pays for throughout the year. Through fundraisers like these, the chapter can take the price down for students or allow them to go for free or at discounted prices. Some of these activities include National Convention, State Convention, FFA Camp and the Washington Leadership Conference.

Thank you to everyone who came out to watch and participate this year.
