Some of the most-used items at Mitchell Grove weren’t bought — they were given. This cornhole game was made by a bride and left behind for future couples. Over the years it’s become part of the lending closet, showing up at receptions and family-style afternoons when guests want a little fun between the vows and the dancing.
It’s held up beautifully, weathering summer sun and Humboldt dew, a small but steady reminder that what couples create here often outlasts their own wedding day. It’s not just décor or entertainment — it’s a piece of the shared history of the grove, passed from one celebration to the next.
So when you come to plan your wedding, take a look through the lending closet. You’ll find more than things — you’ll find traces of all the people who made the most of this place before you.
