CELEBRATION

Are children allowed? 
“Duh.” — Baby Matt

Will food and drinks be provided?
Yep! BBQ, sides, desserts and beverages (for kids, adults and designated drivers!) will be provided. If you would like to bring your beer or drink of choice, no party has ever had too much alcohol.

Is alcohol allowed at the Park?
“Duh.” — Jessica Fast. It wouldn’t be a Matt Fast party if there wasn’t. We have a permit and beer will be provided. If you’re drinking just be safe and make sure you have a sober ride home.

How late is the party?
This will be very casual. People are encouraged to come/go whenever. Food will be served around 2:30-3:00pm. So come when you can and stay as long as you want! When the sun goes day, we’ll be sending off laterns with “Happy Birthday” and “I miss you” messages to Matt. The event will be over at 9 p.m.

Do we have to participate in the tournament to attend?
Nope.

CHARITY CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT

What time does the tournament start?
Round 1 begins promptly at 2:00pm.

I’ve never played, can I participate? 
Yep! You’ve got plenty of time to practice and we all promise not to judge you too much.

Do I have to purchase an attendee ticket if I am also playing in the tournament?
Nope. The attendee ticket is for those not participating in the tournament and helps cover the event and includes a donation to the Child Advocacy Center.

What are the rules?
We’ll follow the official American Cornhole Rules.

Who keeps score?
The teams playing will keep their own score, so make sure before you start that between the 4 people playing someone knows how to keep score. (See the rules.) There will be a Tournament Commissioner to answer any questions.

Do I need to bring my own cornhole board?
Boards for all of the teams will be provided. But if you have a board that you would be willing to lend for the party, please send an email to: matthewryanfast@gmail.com. Thank you to everyone who brought boards previously!

Can I change my team name?
Yep! In order to change your team name, log back into your Eventbrite order. There you’ll be able to “edit” your order, including the team name. Or email matthewryanfast@gmail.com.
