It’s so exciting when you get that first order of cornhole bags shipped to your front door, and you’ll be tempted to start playing right away.  There’s nothing wrong with this, but the issue is that a lot of people tend to forget that these bags don’t typically respond too well to moisture or being left outside.

I’ve seen too many scenarios where someone left their cornhole bags outside after an epic tournament, and then rain showers moved in and soaked the bags.  Now, this isn’t too much of a problem if the bags have plastic beads in them, but if they have whole kernel cracked corn inside then you can kiss your bags goodbye.  The corn will turn to mush, rendering the bags worthless.  So do yourself a favor and always make sure to bring your bags in after a game.
