Cincinnati (For Immediate Release)—The American Cornhole Organization (ACO) is partnering with the National Senior Games to add an open cornhole competition for 2022, with no qualifying needed to compete.
The National Senior Games presented by Humana will be held May 10-23 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. More than 13,000 athletes from ages 50 to 100+ are expected to compete.
