I was thinking that there might be a story in there and my hunch was right. There is some history in Barbie
afterall!
GERMAN RELATED TOYS
CORNHOLE GAMES
Do you want the real history of Cornhole?
Let’s give props here to the early German settlers to Cincinatti (or Porkapolis, a nick name for the greater
Cincinnati area) as they brought this fun outdoor board/bag toss game to America.
The earliest record of "cornhole" comes from the northern part of Bavaria in Germany from a
popular carpenter and renowned cabinet maker by the name of Matthias Kuepermann way back in the year
1325.
The story goes that Mr Kuepermann was out taking a daily stroll down one of his farm fields of corn when he came
upon a small group of young boys tossing stones back and forth into a hole that was created by a ground
hog.
It seems the boys were keeping score... and so was Mr Kuepermann. As they say, the rest is history!
Today this popular game is known by many names including bag toss, baggo, bags, corn
toss, tailgate toss, dbags, bean bag toss and of course the original corn hole.
No matter the name, it's fun, entertaining for participants and spectators, very addictive
and indisputably - the KING of the lawn games!
