In this episode of Greeley Business Beat, we sit down with Don Newvahner, the mastermind behind Colorado Cornhole Connection, to talk about how a simple woodworking hobby turned into a booming business. Don shares his journey from building cornhole boards in his garage to running a 12,000-square-foot cornhole and entertainment venue in Greeley—complete with a retail store, a bar, and a thriving community of cornhole enthusiasts.
Hear how he leaped corporate life into full-time entrepreneurship, growing his business into a national and international success. Plus, we dive into the science of cornhole—the best wood for boards, the evolution of cornhole bags, and the rise of D1 college scholarships for the sport.
