Whether you're a seasoned bags champion or have never thrown a bag before, this event is all about making connections while enjoying a summer evening outdoors. Instead of registering as teams, participants will be assigned partners upon arrival. It's a great opportunity to meet new people, build relationships, and expand their professional network while having fun. We'll play multiple rounds and keep the atmosphere casual and welcoming. Come ready to connect with fellow young professionals, enjoy some friendly competition, and make new connections across North Iowa. No partner or experience is required—just bring yourself, a positive attitude, and your game face!
