Davie County Senior Games is in full swing with over 40 participants in the first tournament event! Cornhole is a fan favorite with lots of fun and competition. On Tuesday, March 22, the Brock Gym was lined with Senior Services Cornhole boards and filled with participants in this season’s red Senior Games t-shirts featuring the brand new Davie County Senior Games and SilverArts logo, designed by local graphic designer, Emily Miller.
The cornhole tournament plays the best two out of three games to determine who moves on in each bracket. The women began their tournament at 9:30 AM, and the men began their tournament at 1:30 PM. There were several age groups with large participation, allowing for an extra exciting day of cornhole. There were even some folks that were brand new to cornhole that ended up leaving with the first place medal, proving the incredible atmosphere that Senior Games brings to the seniors of Davie County. All of the participants were able to enjoy a great competition, develop new friendships, and most of all, have the most fun possible, which is what Senior Games is all about.
