Casino Operators Cornhole Tournament
$20,000 for the AHA, was played at Treasure Bay.
Treasure Bay COO Susan Varnes organized and hosted the event. As a member of the Heart Walk executive leadership, Varnes worked with the Coast casino operators as a way to get the industry more involved, and the idea of a cornhole tournament developed.
Two-person teams made up of casino executives and employees from Treasure
Bay, Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort, IP Casino Resort Spa, Beau Rivage, Golden Nugget, Silver Slipper Casino Hotel, Hard Rock Biloxi, Boomtown Casino Biloxi, Palace Casino Resort, Island View Casino Resort and Harrah’s Gulf Coast participated in the single elimination
event. At the end of four rounds, it came down to the final two teams: Treasure Bay and Harrah’s Gulf Coast.
And while the Treasure Bay team of Varnes and Andy Davis tossed the bean bags with conviction, it was Harrah’s powerhouse team of brothers Scottie Hebert and Brian Hebert that won the day and the trophy.
