CornHoller™ KickStarter - New device for Cornhole game!!



A gentleman by the name of Shane Garrity from Raleigh, NC. started an interesting KickStarter project called the CornHoller™.  It's a really innovative device which announces when a bag goes through the hole in one of 7 unique voices or sounds. 

I think a device like this has great potential to add another level of fun to the game.  I'll let Shane describe in this snippet from his project.

"CornHoller™ is a battery operated device that attaches underneath cornhole boards.  It senses bags and emits one of 7 unique crowd cheering sounds when they go into the hole.
The sounds are: "3 Points", "It's in the Hole", "Swish", "Nice Bag", "Great Shot", "Cha-Ching", and Cheering Crowd Applause.  People are instantly drawn to these devices.  They are amazed by how cool they are and how much fun and emotion they bring to the game. "
See here for a video of one of his proto-types in action!

 
I will be making a donation in the name of CSCA shortly!  Please support this innovative project!

Update: CSCA has pledged $20 to the cause.  If you like this idea be sure to help if you can. It's the only way things like this become real products!  Props and good luck to Shane Garrity!
