My wife travels with me to tournaments and is my biggest cheerleader and statistician. We make the best of cornhole weekends by camping near tournaments or being "tourists" in whatever town we are in. I've met so many people through the Cornhole community that are such great friends now. In 2020 we moved from Maryland (Mid-Atlantic conference) to Florida.
