With the annual CMA Music Festival hitting the streets of Nashville sooner rather than later, all of the biggest stars are gearing up perform and hang out with the genre’s most dedicated fans that fly in from all across the world for the huge country weekend.

Every year, Craig Campbell kicks off the celebrations with his Celebrity Cornhole Challenge, where a number of artists pair off into teams for some lighthearted competition in order to raise money for a good cause. For the sixth year in a row, Campbell will bring back the game and invite some of his closest pals in the industry to throw some beanbags around and earn points all for charity.

“To say I’m excited about this year’s celebrity cornhole challenge would be a huge understatement,” said Campbell in a press release. “It’s hard to believe this is year six! We’re hoping to beat the $180,000 we raised last year, so we’re pulling out all the stops and will have a few returning celebrities and some rookies playing to help Fight CRC. Seeing all the fans come out in support, means the world to me!”

In years past, anyone from Lindsay Ell to Jerrod Niemann to Lee Brice has showed up for the afternoon activity. The celebrity roster for the Cornhole Challenge has not been announced at this time, but Campbell will be sure to let his fans know about his famous friends joining along as soon as he can.
