But with the first-ever ONBOARD cornhole tournament!
Germans can be so fun! Can you believe that a group of German cornhole players living an hour away from Ramstein are hosting a “Scandinavian Cornhole Ocean Cruise”! It’s 5 days, on a tour boat, checking out Scandinavia playing cornhole!?! If you want to learn more, the website www.cornholeuropa.com will have English translated information on the events page.
How did this get started?
A group of American civilians, airmen, soldiers, and their German neighbors formed a club in the dark days after a righteous new year’s eve fireworks display in the tiny village of Konken, located near Ramstein. The local village restaurant Gasthaus Gerlach opened up their indoor space so they could play rain or shine. This provides a great excuse for kids, adults, Germans, and Americans to hang out on Friday nights, learn more about each other, and have fun playing cornhole games with kids and dogs running around.
With a little luck and social media, the Konken Cornhole Club (organized by Cornhole Europa) connected to the burgeoning cornhole scene in Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
If travelling to Hamburg is not practical, there are more KMC Local cornhole events coming up.
The local Konken Cornhole Club has been able to partner with several German cornhole clubs to bring some amazing German players down to the KMC to start a yearly tournament called the “German-American Friendship Tournament”. One German will be paired with one American in this blind draw tournament. How fun to get to know Germans other than your landlord!

Is cornhole just for Americans and tailgating? Or, is it a way to build vibrant overseas experiences for expats and military stationed abroad?
