The American Yard Games Championship is Happening in North Tonawanda

Leave it to the Buffalo area to host this one. The American Yard Games Championship is happening in Western New York! This WOULD happen in Western New York. I say all the time throughout the summer: 'Buffalo is obsessed with backyard and lawn games' and I'm here for it.

If you are having people over or a party, it's nearly mandatory that we have cornhole and Kan Jam in the backyard. Everyone knows someone that is really good at cornhole and this tournament could win them some serious cash.
