A whole lot of corn, or just some competitive cornhole? Perhaps it’s both.
The Old Pueblo Cornhole Challenge and Smokin’ Showdown is taking place at the Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 16.
It’s going to be a grand time at the golf course, including delicious barbecue, beer tastings for those 21 years and older, and live music from local musicians.
Once you’ve devoured plenty at the Smokin’ Showdown you’ll have the option to vote for your favorite dish, along with a vote of your favorite barbecue sauce.
Tickets are $35 per person and include all of the food you can stomach, beer samples, and one drink ticket. Although, don’t wait too long because they’re $45 the day of. We have a pair of tickets to give away this week — keep your eyes peeled!
Do you have what it takes to be the best darn cornholin’ athlete in the Old Pueblo? If so, make sure you register by the November 13 deadline. Either way, it’ll be a great time to watch the teams compete.
The Cornhole Challenge begins at 10 a.m., so don’t be late.
The event supports the Engage Foundation, which is a nonprofit that provides free and safe opportunities to participate in challenging, inspiring, and underrated activities. All proceeds will go to TPOA and The Engage Foundation.
The Randolph Golf Course Driving Range is located at 600 S. Alvernon Way. For more information, visit eventbrite.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
