Mud Slinging? Hold My Beer!

The Hog Wallow Classic observed its 37th installment in 2022. This event is hosted by the Kewanee unit of the Illinois National Guard.

Here's how it works. Two full-sized courts are created at Chautauqua Park in Kewanee, IL. Only instead of grass or sand, the "floor" is 12 to 15 inches of our finest Henry County mud!  The result, as you can see from the photos and video, are two teams, volleyballs and nets pretty much trashed by the end of each match. It's no longer: "I have the dirt on Kewanee!" NOW, it's "I have the dirt OF Kewanee on ME!" And the mud slinging goes on for TWO days, starting on Sunday and continuing thru Monday!

The entry proceeds go to the Kewanee Park District Youth Programs.  Plaques go to the 1st through 4th place winning teams. Portable showers are set up on site for clean-up. Yeah, it doesn't do much good. We're just trying to make you feel better about clean-up!
