        THE NAME GAME!

   It was Shakespeare you'll recall who

wrote "A rose by another name would

still smell as sweet." The 4th of July

weekend is now official;y underway

and families and friends will be gathering

for picnics, fireworks, and backyard

gams like "Corn Hole!"  This fast growing

sport has even gained league status! Players

toss small bags at a slanted board with a

hole carved near the top. The object is to

toss those bags into the hole. It a new game

to some. But actually the basic game was

 patented by a man named Heyliger de Windt

in 1883. He called it "Parlor Quoits", a Horseshoe

like game that could be played indoors! The bags

tossed at those slanted boards were usually filled

with small beans.....hence the game most people

grew up with called "Bean Bags!" "Corn Hole"

indeed! Shakespeare was right! Enjoy the game!

Hope all your NEWS is good!
