Bags will be flying across the state line as the Lower Alabama Young Professionals host their fourth iteration of Barks, Bags, & Bushwackers, a cornhole tournament and social, at the Flora-Bama Yacht Club on Saturday, Sept. 16.

The group targets the 21 to 40 professional age range and brings a fresh new outlook for leadership in our community. Their commitment is to provide community connections, education, philanthropy, and opportunities for outreach.
