Richmond Times Dispatch has now become involved in helping us find the thieves that stole the Cornhole game. There is a reward of one free month of Sweetfrog for anybody with information that leads to the return of our Cornhole game! Pass it on :)

From the Times Dispatch article:

The owners of the store at 815 W. Cary St. turned a vacant lot next door into a park, complete with grassy areas, a volleyball court and, until Tuesday night, a bean bag toss game.

“We absolutely wanted to create a nice green space for the area,” general manager Clark Hirt said. “We’ve had a great response for the neighborhood — most every night there were people playing cornhole.”

The cornhole equipment doesn’t usually stay out overnight. But because fireworks were going off the night before the Fourth of July and people were still playing, the employees left the game out later than usual, Hirt said.

The store’s surveillance cameras at 9:42 p.m. Tuesday captured three men dragging away the bean bag toss game.

“It was disappointing,” said James Maloney, one of the investors in the store. “It was unfortunate because it’s part of the stuff that we had provided for the community. There was no cost to play, no charge.”
