“We had a blast last year,” said Kelsea Herndon, a seasoned mud volleyball player whose team took first place last summer. “I really hope that people start getting more involved so we can have more mud volleyball tournaments around here. They are so fun!”

Anyone coming to watch the tournament is more than welcome, but there are no guarantees to keep clean and mud free, so dress accordingly. Shane Cox with Hate the Game DJ & Karaoke will be set up to entertain all day, the Riverbender Truck and several promotional guests will be in attendance with freebees and prizes along with local media. So bring your lawn chairs, tents and sunscreen but no coolers are permitted as both food and drinks will be available for purchase.

“We are very excited to host the event again this year and the date is creeping up pretty quick,” said Brandie Desherlia. “So come on out and bring you’re a Game!”
