Davie County Senior Games is in full swing with more than 40 participants in the first event.

Cornhole is a fan favorite with 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 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. There were several age groups with large participation. There were even some folks who were new to cornhole who ended up leaving with the first place meda.
