On Saturday, November 24th, we ran the 2nd annual Festival of Lights Cornhole Tournament at Desert Foothills Park in Phoenix. The event included 51 teams across four divisions and six juniors competed in a Juniors singles event. In all, a total over $1,300 in prize money was paid out to the top teams and $700 was raised for the non-profit Festival of Lights as well as their charities, Kiwanis, Y OPAS and the Starbright Foundation.
