Horse racing is a community staple in the small, but growing town of Grants Pass, OR. It has been around for many, many years at the Grants Pass Downs, but there is also another form of horse racing called Barrel Racing. Anyone who has been to a rodeo has most likely seen the riders and their horses racing from one end of the arena to the other while navigating around large barrels as fast as they can.

It’s probably safe to assume that most people are creatures of habit. They have their favorite places to go for entertainment, their favorite stores to shop at, and of course, their favorite places to eat.
The food at Big O Spuds is amazing but it’s definitely not for the faint hearted. The food they sell is delicious, but also comes in full-sized portions with plenty of calories to fuel your body. A combination of Mexican and American food, Big O Spuds’ tasty meals are also food for the soul. Each bite makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. A little of it may be guilt, but the rest is pure heaven.

There aren’t many places one gets to visit that are special before even arriving, but Vista 222 is one of those places. Arriving from the back highway roads of Grants Pass, you can see the private venue sitting on top of the hill from at least a half mile away. The drive up is almost as beautiful as the view from the balcony, but not quite.
We are excited to start the very first Totem Pole Cornhole League in Southern Oregon. It was a challenge to find the right location so that leagues could keep going year-round, but we are very pleased to say that the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley is the best possible place. Even though we are renting the facility, all the revenue they receive as a result of the Cornhole Leagues is helping their program so it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
