There is a growing trend for individuals to seek out new sporting activities that are comparatively inexpensive in which to participate. Camrose walking tracks have become busy in recent years, disc golf has become popular with many and now the ageold game of cornhole has been catching on, too. A group of people eager for socialization, fun, camaraderie and fitness, coupled with a degree of competitive spirit, has formed the Crusaders Cornhole Drop-In League. In early January, 32 people participated in the group’s inaugural league launch event. Over the winter, the Crusaders have played their sport weekly in the Mirror Lake Centre Auditorium. As spring draws closer, Cornhole Nights at the Centre will occur each Wednesday evening in the months of April, May and June. The group will pause their indoor activity over the summer months, then resume the game they love in October. This league is one that does not require a seasonal or weekly commitment, but rather is open to drop-in guests (ages 12 and up) who would like to try out the sport. No experience or equipment is necessary to participate.
Camrose Crusaders vice-president Christa Jones and president Chris Parfett have been overjoyed with the growing interest in their league play and tournaments.
