A day of epic fun, delicious pizza, and awesome entertainment in support of Intersect Youth & Family Services.
For over 40 years, Intersect Youth & Family Services has been a lifeline for children, youth, and families in Prince George, BC. We provide crucial mental health services at no cost, supporting over 500 children and youth annually. Despite our dedicated efforts, sadly over 200 children and youth are on our waitlist for services. Until now, we have never asked our community for support, but the urgent need to expand our services compels us to seek your help today for your support of our first fundraising event. No child should wait for a better tomorrow.
We are excited to announce the first annual Cornhole Palooza including a Best Pizza in Prince George Competition. We would be delighted to have you join us celebrating our vibrant community while supporting a vital cause, child and youth mental health. There is a lot of talk and opinions about who has the best pizza in Prince George, so what better than some fun, healthy competition while raising funds for the children, youth and families of Prince George.
What is Cornhole Palooza? A Palooza means an extraordinary event and we have one for you!! It is an entire day of fun for the whole family including:
o Cornhole Tournament: From 10:00-7:00 come and watch 24 teams play in our tournament vying for the top spot to win the coveted Cornhole Palooza Trophy. Cornhole isn’t just a backyard or camping game, it’s a sport. Come watch this exciting sporting event and cheer for your favorite team in their quest for the cup. https://www.playcornhole.org/pages/rules
o Best Pizza in Prince George: From 12:00-6:00 we have several pizzerias from around Prince George coming to offer their pizza by the slice for you to try. Purchase tickets for slices of cheese/pepperoni pizza for $3.00 or you can try a slice of their specialty pizza (only available from them) for $4.00. Vote on your favorites for their chance to win top spot in: Best Crust, Best Sauce, Best Toppings, Best Cheese/Pepperoni Pizza, Best Specialty Pizza, and the top spot of Best Pizza overall.
o Kids Zone: All day we will have crafts, games, bouncy blow up and entertainment for the kids. Kids can decorate their thunder sticks and flags for cheering on their favorite Cornhole team. Maybe they want to decorate themselves and get their face painted. They can burn off some energy going for a bounce in the blow-up, trying out some of the carnival games and/or learning to play Cornhole. Bell E Buttons the clown will be in the kids zone from 12:00-6:00 to make balloon animals, do magic tricks and entertain the kids all day https://www.facebook.com/BellEButtonsTheClown/ .
o All day Entertainment: Rhythm and Sound will be on site playing your favorite music all day and they are bringing both their photo booths to capture some memories. Get a photo with your friends or family in the classic photo booth or try taking the 360 photo booth for a spin. Stuart from Prime-Time Wresting is the perfect hype man to MC this event, making sure we are all pumped up to watch some fierce competition. Then our very own Corn Mascot will be there entertaining the crowd throughout the day. We still need to name them, so enter your ideas for mascot naming and a chance to win a prize.
o Adult Zone (19yrs +): Starting at 11:00 am until the Cornhole Palooza Trophy is won, the civic center will be hosting our adult only area where you can watch the cornhole tournament, play some cornhole yourself, try out the mini putting green and/or enjoy an adult only beverage.
Tickets to enjoy the events all day long: Making this event affordable for families was important to us, however this is also a fundraiser and an expensive event to host so we have to charge admission. Tickets are available for purchase prior to the event for a reduced cost from Tickets North in the community events section. https://www.ticketsnorth.ca/event/cornhole-palooza/
