They came, they saw, they threw corn bags! The annual HBA Corn Madness Tournament, sponsored and hosted by FamilySAFE in Republic, brought nearly 100 HBA Members together for food, fun and games. Click here to see pictures from this year’s event! Teams new and old battled it out on the boards to see who could take home the gold (a.k.a. mini corn boards and gift cards). It was a hard-fought, dusty battle, but in the end one team squeaked out a win in the Championship Bracket. WATCH VIDEO BELOW!!!

As we all know, being the best is not the only way to win at HBA Corn Madness. Being a loser can pay off in a big way, too! Congratulations to our Grand Champions in The Biggest Loser bracket. You may not be the best, but you’re the best of the worst and that’s better than nothing at all.
Biggest Loser Champions – Dan Crutcher & Denise Perry – Federal Protection
