Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate cornhole – one of the most popular backyard games played in the United States.
About the stamp design: Pictures original artwork by Mick Wiggins of people playing cornhole.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Great American Stamp Show 2021 in Rosemont, Illinois.
About the Backyard Games set: Includes eight designs picturing original artwork by Mick Wiggins of a different backyard game: badminton, bocce, cornhole, croquet, flying disc, horseshoes, tetherball, and pick-up baseball.
History the stamp represents: Most backyard games have been around for many years and have become fan favorites. However, one game was just introduced in the 1970s – cornhole (also known as bags, sack toss, or bean bag toss).
Cornhole is played with two sets of four bags and two raised boards with a hole in the upper center. It can be played with two to four players with similar scoring traditions to horseshoes (count-all or cancellation). Bags are required to measure six inches by six inches and must weigh between 15.5 and 16.5 ounces. They are traditionally filled with corn, but may also be filled with plastic resin or similar materials. Boards are two feet wide by four feet long with a six-inch hole drilled in the center, nine inches from the top of the board. The top edge of the board is 12 inches off the ground and the bottom edge is three to four inches off the ground. The boards are placed 27 feet apart, measured from the front of each.
Cornhole can be a very competitive game, but can also be played more casually. It’s a great way to bring people together at family barbeques, and many bars will set up cornhole boards outside for their patrons during the summer months. By adjusting the distance between boards, even children can play cornhole. It really is a game for everyone!
