The popularity of bean bags has prompted the organizers of Shorewood’s annual Crossroads Fest to again have a bags tournament during the upcoming festival.
The tournament will be held at 12:30 p.m. Aug. 6 in the entertainment/beer tent at Cene’s Four Seasons Park. Registration is at noon, after which time no additional teams will be allowed entry into the tournament. Entry fee is $30 per team and can be paid when registering at the event.
Teams will be comprised of two people. The tournament is a double elimination bracket, with all teams being guaranteed two matches. Each match will consist of best out of three in head to head competition.
The tournament is designed for amateur players only. ACO professional players or ACO top 40 ranked singles or doubles players will not be allowed to participate. Those that are unsure of their status will be assisted in verifying their status from documentation provided by the ACO.
The tournament is sponsored by Jim Delaney Allstate Insurance Agency. Registration forms are available at www.crossroadsfest.com. For more information call the chamber office at 815-725-2900.
The annual festival, which runs Aug. 5-7 will feature all the events, activities and entertainment that festivalgoers have come to expect over the years. The fest is brought to the community by the Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce. The presenting sponsor for the entire weekend is Heartland Bank & Trust.
