The 4th Annual Southern Maine Cornhole Invitational was held on Saturday October 13, 2018 at the Gorham Sports Center. We were pleased that the Gorham Business Exchange asked Westbrook-Gorham Rotary to partner with them this year on this fun and fabulous fundraiser!
About 58 two-person teams were registered – a new record. Teams were initially divided into “pools” where they had a chance to play all the teams in their pool. Then they moved on to “brackets”. The top scoring teams from the pools played for cash prizes. The lower scoring teams played for beer. Teams of all skill levels had a great time.
Many elements came together to help make this a successful fundraiser. Pizza was donated by Gorham House of Pizza. Beer was donated by Allagash Brewing. The Gorham Sports Center made the space available at no charge. M&H Signs provided custom cornhole boards at a reduced price. Volunteers from both GBE and WG Rotary kept things moving throughout the event, including a 50/50 drawing and a raffle with prize of a set of custom cornhole boards.

We look forward to learning the final tally. A huge thanks to GBE President Ethan Johnson, as well as David Willis for bringing this great opportunity to us. Hopefully we can do it again next year!
