The event consists of two different divisions based on players’ experience. If you’ve never thrown bags before, signup for the Tailgaters division and join us. We will have people there to assist in learning the game plus you have a chance to win prize money. If you have bags, bring your own or we will have bags to borrow in the Tailgaters’ division.

We also invite all competitive players to form their own teams and join us for the opportunity to win the $500 first place team prize!

Both divisions will have a guaranteed 5 games with the first 4 games being a round robin format for placement in the single elimination tournament for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place cash prizes!

This event is a fundraiser for the Fort Smith Museum of History. Founded in 1910, the Fort Smith Museum of History has been a private, non-profit, 501(c)3 organization for 112 years. We are the oldest functioning museum in the state, located in the historic 1906 Atkinson-Williams Warehouse right here in Fort Smith, with a mission of collecting, sharing, and preserving the history of Fort Smith and the region. Through education, exhibitions, programs, and outreach, we educate the region on the history of the area. We serve five counties, Sebastian, Crawford, and Franklin counties in Arkansas, and Sequoyah and Leflore counties in Oklahoma.

“Great Scott! This is historic!”
