If you’re good with a beanbag – or just want to watch people who are – you’ll want to head to the state Capitol Saturday.
The fifth annual Capital City Cornhole Classic kicks off at State Capitol State Park at 10 a.m., with player check-in open at 9 a.m. The tournament runs until 6 p.m., with team, youth and singles competitions.
It’s a fundraiser organized by Shangri-La, a Salem-based nonprofit organization providing residential homes and employment services for people with disabilities.
Registration for the team tournament is closed, but youth and singles can register on the day of the tournament. Admission is free for spectators.
Food trucks Hooked on Food and Grindz Hawaiian Food Truck will be cooking for the tournament, and Ratchet Brewing will serve beers on site.
Participants and spectators are required to wear masks while within six feet of people who aren’t from their household, unless they’re eating or drinking.
