Iowa State Fair Record Breaking Fun

Posted on July 26, 2022

Iowa State Fair Attempts to Break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® Title for Largest Cornhole Tournament.

By definition, it’s a lawn game in which players toss beanbags toward a slanted board with the goal of landing the bag through the hole in the center of the board. Whether you call it bags, backyard toss, bagg-o, Chuck-O, bean bags or cornhole, the Iowa State Fair is trying to break a record for the largest cornhole tournament on Saturday, August 20.

The current record stands at just 444 participants set by an organization in San Diego, California in June of 2019. The Iowa State Fair has been close to the record in the past.

In order to break the current record in 2022, the Iowa State Fair will need more than 444 participants. Registration information for teams can be found at www.iowastatefair.org. Doubles are required to pre-register this year on the Scoreholio App so that an official count can be logged by Guinness World Records. No day of registrations will be accepted. All participants will receive a free commemorative t-shirt.

The bags tournament is sponsored by Floor & Décor. Find more details at iowastatefair.org.

Hairball Video of the Week

Posted on July 23, 2022

It’s time for your Hairball Video of the Week! This week I’m taking it back to ’83 with a classic Motley Crue video, that I’m not entirely sure is this official video…but it ROCKS none the less! Here is your Hairball Video of the Week, Motley Crue with “Shout at the Devil!”

This Week in ’80s History!

Posted on July 23, 2022

It’s that time of the week! Time to take a look back on This Week in ’80s History!

It was on this week in:

1982 – Emotions in Motion by Billy Squier was released. The album would peak at #5 on the Billboard charts. 

1984 – MTV and the WWE presented the Brawl to End it All as part of their Rock n’ Wrestling Connection. Live from Madison Square Garden the main event saw Wendi Richter defeat the Fabulous Moolah with help of 80’s icon Cyndi Lauper.

1987 – Summer School starring Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley was released. One of my absolute favorite films of the decade and highly underrated in my opinion. 

1988 – Caddyshack II, one of the absolute worst sequels in movie history was released. No Rodney Dangerfield, no Bill Murray, no wonder this cash grab of a sequel was an absolute flop.
