MOYIE SPRINGS — Mudders Day 2017 returned to Moyie Springs May 12-14 with a large turnout of spectators and vehicles of every type, for a weekend of family fun in the mud. Spectators cheered their favorite vehicles as they plowed through the deep mud and ruts, or tested their rigs against a steep hillside consisting of trails and natural obstacles.
“I’d rather have the mud boggers spend their money on their rigs than on drugs,” said event founder Bruce Behrman. “It’s a family affair. We try to be as safe as we can, yet let them have fun.”
