Lipton Mud Bog Event

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For over 12 years the community of Lipton has been home to the infamous Mud Bog event. Now, Mr. Speaker, I know what you may be thinking. What events transpire at mud bogs? Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine you enter the event with your souped-up truck racing down this track with cheering spectators covered in mud from head to toe. I know what you’re thinking, Mr. Speaker. This is right up your alley.

Since the inception of mud bogs, Lipton has been the hot spot for all things mud and loud trucks. Waylon Scholler, a seasoned participant from Regina pitched an idea for Lipton Mud Bog organizers to sell raffle tickets to fans while raising money for various community organizations. The prize to be won would allow 12 lucky individuals to ride through the mud pits.

Mr. Speaker, a total of $1,600 was donated to Hope’s Home. Due to the raffle’s success last August, organizers plan to continue this raffle and donate funds to various organizations.

I ask that all members join me in thanking the Lipton Mud Bog crew for giving back to organizations across the province. I encourage all members and guests to drive out June 3rd to Lipton, cheer on the drivers raising money for various charities across the province. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
