Registration now open for Franklin’s July 4 horseshoe and cornhole tournaments
The Franklin Chamber of Commerce’s annual Fourth of July horseshoe and cornhole tournaments will begin at 10 a.m. at the Macon County Veterans Memorial Recreation Park, just south of town on U.S. 441.
The horseshoe competition is open to men and women of all ages, and registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. The tournament follows a double elimination format and is played in sets of three games, with the best out of two winning. Losers will move onto the Loser’s Bracket.
The cornhole tournament, sponsored by ServPro, will be held at 3 p.m., with registration at 2:30 p.m. Cornhole is a lawn game in which players take turns throwing bags filled with corn at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. The tournament will be comprised of two-player teams with double elimination brackets.
Registration for either tournament is $25 per team, and the first place winners of the tournaments will receive $200, second place teams $100 and third place teams $50.
