Spectators backed their trucks up around the Round Horse Arena to watch the event, which was organized by the Round-Up 4H club and the Alpaca 4H. Young kids started mud fights and stomped through the puddles while they waited for the games to begin. The teams showed up ready to bump, set and spike, in matching T-shirts. One team wore white fringed shirts with tie-dye colors splattered across them, and one team had their names written in puff paint across their backs. By the end of the games however, all of them left with big smiles and dressed in one color: mud brown.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnee Deep,\u201d a team composed of seven friends in matching pink tie-dye shirts, had a great time playing. \u201cIf mud is involved, it makes everything that much more fun,\u201d said team member Kailee Buffington. Nanabah Sam agreed. \u201cIt was cold, but it was way worth it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnee Deep\u201d won overall, making them this year\u2019s Hog Slop champions. \u201cI had a blast,\u201d said Rainah Oveson. Up to her ankles in mud, teammate Abby Jones had fun too. \u201cI had such a great time playing with some of my amazing friends,\u201d she said. \u201cThe mud and the rain were just a big plus\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
