Kent State, Lake Erie Monsters to host cornhole tournament
January 25, 2010
Students can grab a partner and register online for the first Kent State/Lake Erie Monsters cornhole tournament tomorrow in the Student Center Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Right now we are trying different activities that interest students,” said Michael Dukles, graduate assistant for the Center for Student Involvement. “Along with the cornhole tournament, we have a Late Night at Kent State series featuring comedians and bands in the Rathskeller.”
Registration for the tournament is $20 for teams of two, which includes tickets to the Lake Erie Monsters hockey game on Feb. 5. All registered teams will compete for the grand prize — 18 tickets for the Lake Erie Monsters luxury suite. Second-and-third place winners will participate in a future ceremonial puck drop for a game and receive two tickets for a luxury suite. Fourth place receives two tickets for a Monsters game in a luxury suite.
The top eight teams from the preliminary rounds will battle for the championship at the Quicken Loans Arena prior to the Monsters game on Feb. 5.
Students can register by going to
www.theqarena.com/store/kent or stopping by the Center for Student Involvement in Room 226 of the Student Center. The deadline to register is tonight at 11:59.
