Just when you thought the Street Faire had something for everyone, the Rotary Club has found something else!  Bring your tossing talents and your competitive friends to the 2nd Annual Corn Hole Tournament at the Reading Fall Street Faire on September 8.
 
The Cornhole Tournament will be held at the site of the NFL Tailgate in the former Rite Aid parking lot off Haven Street.
 
“Cornhole has become a popular game in the region over the last few years,” said Cornhole Tournament Co-Coordinator Pete Coumounduros. “Expert on beginner, it is fun for all.  The challenge is on, beginner or expert.  The real brains of this tournament is my fellow Co-Coordinator Jonathan Gorski who ensures the quality and smooth running operation.”  Pete is a member of Friends of Reading Recreation and is partnering with Reading Rotary to put on this event again in 2019.  All proceeds from the Cornhole Tournament will benefit the FORR and Reading Rotary.
 
“Grab a friend for an exciting day at the Reading Fall Street Faire, the most popular event in Reading,” added RFSF Chair & Rotarian John Feudo. “The Cornhole Classic is a double elimination style tournament with official scoring and brackets. There will be prizes for the winners, but it’s really about Town bragging rights!”
 
The players will get free entrance to the Patriots’ Tailgate event and 3 beer tickets – a $10 value.  This year the Tailgate will be held in the Rite Aid parking lot on Haven Street. 
 
The Tailgate is sponsored this year by Beacon Consulting and CTA Construction.  The Tailgate will have NFL football games on the big screen, beer and sliders.  The Tailgate has been a very popular mainstay of the RFSF.  Make sure you come on by on Sept. 8.  To register for Cornhole, go to the Fall Street Faire’s website, fallstreetfaire.com, and direct any questions about the event to info.fallstreetfaire.com.
