The inaugural Lake Farley Summer Event Series Cornhole tournament was held Saturday, July 16. Mark Dietz and Pat Keating from Graceville, Minnesota came out on top in a field of 28 teams. Dustin Fahleen and Matt Gengler, both of Milbank, took second place.
“We were really excited we had 28 teams,” stated Milbank Area Chamber of Commerce Events Director Laura Kelly. “And we are excited to do this again next year.”
The 28 teams played three games in pool play to start the tournament. The winners of each pool advanced to the championship round.
