MIGHTY MUD MANIA

Saturday we took the kids to the Mighty Mud Mania Event to enjoy the 100+ degree heat while covered in mud.

Mighty Mud Mania 2011


Saturday June 11, 2011

"Mighty Mud Mania" began in 1976 as the "Shout It Out Decathlon," a promotional gimmick for Johnson's Wax "Shout" Spray pre-wash. The activity was held in Chaparral Park in Scottsdale and the Johnson's Wax Company provided 300 white t-shirts for the participants. Johnson's dropped the program because our Arizona mud was too tough for the pre-wash. However, the City of Scottsdale felt the activity was so successful, that our Parks and Recreation Division incorporated the event into the summer recreation program. Re-named "Mighty Mud Mania," the activity has been held since then as the culminating activity of all the Scottsdale Parks and Recreation summer programs.






















These next couple of pictures were actually taken on Friday, aka "water day"at daycare.
