True sportsmanship shone this morning as the final four competitors took to the boards to crown the 2026 Employee Appreciation Fund Cornhole Tournament champions. It was a real nail-biter, but after 20 minutes of play, Bonnie Harwell and Gary Thompson defeated Judy Howes and Bill Williams to take home the bragging rights for this year’s tournament.
It was a quick turnaround before their skills were put to the test as they competed fiercely against the JKV staff team of Geneva Robers and Anthny Thorpe.
Despite the uneven score, it was tough competition between the two teams, with the crowd cheering on both sides as Bonnie and Gary won ultimate bragging rights once again over the JKV staff team.
Congratulations to all our participants who came out to support the Employee Appreciation Fund Committee. If you couldn’t make it to the competition or the lunch that followed, there is still time to contribute to the Employee Appreciation Fund. Contributions can be made at one of the donation boxes located in the Centre or the Jaques Clubhouse.
We look forward to seeing everyone on November 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Barker Center for Employee Appreciation Day. Sign-up to volunteer to hand out checks to employees is open on Cubigo.
