11th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge Was A Great Success

I was so glad to return this year to Nashville for this incredible fun annual event. The 11th Annual Craig Cambell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge kicked off CMA Fest week at 6th & Peabody on June 3rd, and raised over $30,000 for the Kenny Campbell Foundation.

There were artists and more on board who participated such as, Dillon Carmichael, Jerrod Nieman, Craig Wayne Boyd, Big Vinny, The Swon Brothers, Jesse Keith Whitley, Dylan Marlowe, Preslee Campbell, Mindy Campell and of course, the Master of Ceremonies, Craig himself. However, the final round pitted country artist Tayler Holder against Craig's daughter, Kinni Rose, and Tayler came out victorious.

"I can't thank 6th & Peabody, our amazing volunteers, sponsors and especially the artists enough for spending the day with us and raising a record amount of money," said Craig. "We started the Kenny Campbell Foundation in honor of my dad, and all of this money goes to very worthwhile causes."

Fans were able to bid with one of 16 teams for a trophy and bragging rights. Several of the artists performed on stage after being eliminated from the tournament, and Craig followed the trophy presentation with a full concert.

The weather cooperated this year, since last year it rained. The heat was not the only thing that was hot...the competition and smack talking was on fire. It was free to attend and the fans in attendance had a great day. The food inside the Ole Smokey Distillery was damn good and the drinks were a great way to get cooled off. So, I HIGHLY recommend this event if ya ever get back to the beginning of CMA Fest.

There is still an opportunity to make a donation to the Kenny Campbell Foundation, where you can make a difference in someone's life. About 1 — Craig Campbell
