For the past week or so, Marion County Circuit Court employees have gathered during their lunch hour for a competitive corn hole tournament.

Silvino Estrada, courthouse supervisor and judicial coordinator, said the tournament lasts several weeks and is organized by the employee enrichment committee. It’s in its third year, and the boards are handmade and painted by his father, Francisco.

A line of court workers sat on the lawn watching as two games were in progress Friday. Estrada kept score.
