Eatery celebrates anniversary with block party and massive Cornhole Tournament

The nation’s largest cash cornhole tournament will take place as part of Spencer Makenzie’s 8th annual End of Summer Block Party. This California-classic multi-day party will feature the eatery’s award-winning food, ice cold drinks and craft beer, and a free concert with rockin’ local bands on Saturday evening, as well as DJs spinning great music throughout the tournament for players and spectators alike.

Now in its 8th year, the Cornhole Throw Down has continued to grow into a national event, hosting incredibly skilled players of all ages from states across the country. This year’s competition includes teams from: Alabama; Arizona; Florida; Illinois; Indiana; Iowa; Michigan; Nevada; North Carolina; Ohio; Kentucky; Texas and Virginia – and of course, California. Additionally, notable Cornhole Leagues/Teams from across the nation are sending some of their best players: 702 Cornhole (Las Vegas, NV); TCL (Texas); Original Cornhole (Arizona) and KB Games (Arizona) are all sending players to join the games.

Not to be outdone, California is putting its best foot forward as well, with teams from across the state coming to Ventura in droves.

This competition is unique because it is accessible to players from all walks of life – and due to the size of this tournament, the competition is fierce.
