Cornhole’s popularity has been steadily rising throughout the country. We’ve been able to see this rise first hand over here at Slick Woody’s, as a large share of our cornhole boards have been being purchased from the west coast, many in California.

With so many new people becoming familiar with this amazing sport, it’s important to understand some of the best occasions to play with your friends and family.

Have you ever been at a party where it seems nobody is enjoying themselves the way they should be? It can be hard to get the family or friends moving around and having a good time, instead of just standing around and sipping drinks.

What better way to get people going than to have a little competitive fun? Get people talking, communicating, and enjoying each other more with one of the best games out there.  In this article we will talk about the 5 best holidays you should have your cornhole boards ready to go for.

5. Thanksgiving

Ahhhh Thanksgiving, one of my favorite holidays of the year. The crisp fall air, the leaves falling from above, football every week, and don’t forget about eating until you just can’t anymore. It’s often a beautiful time to be outside during thanksgiving, yet many families spend this holiday inside eating and hanging around like many others.

Purchasing a set of Slick Woody's best selling Burnt Wood Boards can be a great investment for this time around the holidays. Get the family outside and get them tossing the bags.

Friendly competitive games really help the family enjoy their time together. Cornhole is something you can even make a family tradition. Even if aunt Sue’s cooking isn’t the best and uncle Ron only wants to talk politics, everybody can still look forward to a classic game of cornhole.

4. Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend is one of the first times of the year people gather their friends and family and get outside for cookouts and activities. Hot dogs are being grilled, beverages are being drank, and pools are being prepared for the coming of summer. As we mentioned before, a lot of times Memorial Day only involves everyone hanging out eating and drinking outside.

What better way to spice up one of the best holiday weekends of the year, than to get yourself a set of Slick Woody’s signature or custom cornhole boards?

The craftsmanship on our boards is unbelievable and I have yet to see a board out there that even comes close in quality. Your friends and family will appreciate you providing the entertainment and be wowed by the quality of your boards.

3. Labor Day Weekend

A weekend of celebrating the working man and woman. Labor Day Weekend is often a beautiful time to be outside. The leaves are changing, the weather is warm, and it marks the beginning of the football and tailgating season.

I might be stating the obvious here, but are you really even tailgating if you don’t have a set of cornhole boards?

Cornhole boards have become a staple in the world of tailgating and Labor Day weekends. Not only do we have the best cornhole boards on the market over here at Slick Woody’s, we also have some of the best tailgating tables you could ever ask for.

Get over to our shop and take a look at some of our top selling boards and tables to make your Labor Day Weekend experience one of a kind.

2. 4th of July

Fireworks, hot dogs, and America’s birthday, does it really get better than that? The 4th of July is one of the most exciting holidays of the year. Big celebrations, parties with your friends and family, and everything America. Speaking of America have you checked out our Patriotic Boards?

This collection is perfect for celebrating America’s birthday. If you’ve ever been at a party where cornhole was being played, I think you might agree that cornhole is the perfect addition to any gathering and provides endless entertainment for all of your guests.

The nice thing is you can even play at night now thanks to Slick Woody’s light up cornhole bags and cornhole board lights. 4th of July parties usually get going when it gets dark for the fireworks, and now you can make sure your guests can continue to have a great time playing cornhole, even in the dark!

1. Father's Day

Coming in at number one, we have Father’s Day. The reason we decided to rank Father’s Day number one isn’t because it’s particularly the best holiday to be playing cornhole compared to the others, but because it makes the perfect gift for any father.

We have boards for anyone regardless of their interests or hobbies. Our custom boards make it possible for you to get dad anything he wants printed on his board! Maybe he'll enjoy one of our "do it yourself" boards that he can customize and work on himself. Get dad something he will appreciate and use for a long time.

Personally, I think this is one of the better gifts you could ever get dad as it’s something he can show off to his friends, tailgate with, and he will definitely enjoy the craftsmanship that is put into each Slick Woody’s board. Maybe even get him a scoring tower to go with it so he can keep score!

Cornhole during the holidays

When it comes down to it, Cornhole boards are a great idea for any type of holiday or occasion. Just having a set of boards provides entertainment for years to come and the fact that you can have it customized anyway you want or choose from our signature boards make it a no brainer.

We take pride in creating the best boards on the market and providing the best bags and accessories to go along with them. Keep your gatherings entertaining and fun, get over to our shop now and see the quality of our cornhole products yourself!
