Batavia, Ohio- Clermont County is set to host the ACO Heartland Conference Championship May 31- June 2, 2018 at the new Cincinnati Sports Nation in Miami Township. Participants are expected to travel from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky to compete for trophies, prizes and potentially cash payouts.
“We are ecstatic to be bringing American Cornhole Organization’s Heartland Conference Championship to the Milford-Miami Township area where they are headquartered,” said Joel Barnhill, Director of Sports for the Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We think this event will attract a lot of interest, not only locally, but throughout the region,” he added.
On display will be some of the top players in the country who will be competing at the ACO World Championship taking place in Montgomery, AL July 24-28, 2018.
“We are really excited to bring this event to Clermont County for two reasons,” said Frank Geers, President of the American Cornhole Organization. First, Clermont County is the headquarters for the American Cornhole Organization, so it will be nice to finally have an event in our own backyard. Secondly, the Heartland Conference is made up of 4 states- Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Clermont County is centrally located between this region and will allow visitors relatively easy travel,” he added.
“We look forward to continuing our work with Geers and the staff at American Cornhole to keep an event here for many years to come,” said Barnhill.
