Tombstones Invite The Grieving To Play Cornhole

Imagine loving Cornhole so much, you take it to your grave.

Better yet, you make it your grave and invite the living to play.

The City of Belle Fourche just posted these grave markers on their Facebook page.

Do you think it disrespectful to play cornhole in a graveyard?

Maybe.

But what if the deceased asked you to come play?

At that point, it might be considered disrespectful not to play.

Belle Fourche is a city in and the county seat of Butte County, South Dakota, United States. Its population was 5,617 at the 2020 census.

The town is just over the border from the northeastern side of Wyoming.

So at this point, we have to ask, is this the only gravestones in the world that invite people to play cornhole?

I bet it's not.

A quick internet search shows that many people have done this.

Some even advertise their favorite sports team on the same tombstone that we are supposed to play cornhole on.

What a great idea.

In Laramie Wyoming, this tombstone, seen above, invites people to come and have a seat.

Why stand and say a few words when you can sit and rest for a lot longer?

There is a tombstone near Savannah Georgia very much like this bench.

Cornhole tombstones would get people to visit someone's grave more often.

Even people who did not know the deceased.

Plus, the memory of the person who has passed comes with laughter and good times, rather than tears.

The world needs more of that.

Has anyone made tombstones yet that let people play horseshoes?

Old Medicine Of The Chugwater Wyoming Drugstore

If you visit the tiny town of Chugwater Wyoming you'll find the newly restored Soda Fountain.

In fact it's Wyoming's oldest soda fountain and malt shot.

It's always worth stopping in for breakfast or lunch, or maybe a shake or malt.

The place was a drug store and soda fountain for the longest time.

Back then soda was actually used to cure an upset stomach.

So what sort of old medicines were left behind by Chugwater's last pharmacist?

It turns out, some of them are on display.

I love walking down the hallway of a modern movie theater and looking at the old posters of vintage movies.

That got me thinking about old Westerns based on Wyoming. How many of those posters are still around?

Many are, and many are for sale online, if you want to decorate your home, or even home theater, with classic and mostly forgotten movie posters.

Most of these films were made before the era of television. Hollywood was cranking out these things as fast as they could.

The plots, the scrips, the acting, directing, and editing were SO BAD, they were good.
