Bean Bag Toss Game
So I was looking to make my own bean bag game. I found the dimensions online and there is no issue making the boards. But does anyone know where a guy could buy bean bags in Calgary?

Just sew your own and fill them with dehydrated peas or beans or something. Even I, the manliest of men, has the ability to sew a beanbag.

My in-laws bought a killer bean bag game from Costco, but the bean bags have been a constant source of issue. Regardless of how they're stitched, they always bust open. I'd be interested to know if there is a place in town to buy high quality ones.

Outstanding source of corn hole supplies here:
http://www.ajjcornhole.com/?gclid=CN...FQw75QodEW61-Q
I don't know if they ship to Canada.
I have bought their merchandise - it is top notch, heavy duty stuff.

Ya I could probably sew up a set easily, but like Russic said, I would prefer higher quality ones.

Thanks Domoic, but they don't ship to Canada. I was hoping to buy them in person, to see the quality 1st hand.

Kidsource. It's a teacher supply store but last time I went, they didn't actually ask for proof of Teacher ID. Or I lied. I can't remember.
http://www.kidsourcecatalog.com/adva...words=bean+bag (page takes a second to load.) They had several sizes and colours depending on what you want. If I recall, they are a vinyl material and definitely heavy duty construction as its meant for young children to abuse in the classroom.

No kidding. My brother-in-law actually has this game and we were playing it last month with his preschool girls. I'll have to be very careful how I talk about it, I guess...

Wow, a thread about cornholing on CP that hasn't been locked within 20 minutes; a new record.
Also, I had no idea that there were so many avid cornholers on CP. I would have expected at most 10%....
Although I suppose I too have experimented with cornholing, back in my college days, but I haven't thought about picking that hobby back up until this thread popped up. Guess i'll take a peek at this School supply store and see that they recommend for high quality cornholing with school kids
