Cornhole is really a regional thing. While similar versions of the game have been around for centuries, the game as we know it today was conceived in Ohio. It has spread regionally throughout the Midwest & Northeast. While I'm sure other areas of the country know of or have heard of the game, it's not really mainstream. In the suburbs of Cleveland, it's more uncommon to find a home without a cornhole set than it is to find homes that do have them. In other words, it's quite popular. I haven't been to a summer picnic, BBQ, graduation party or other general "backyard" get-together in which a cornhole set wasn't present with a line of people waiting to play.
