Drivers get down and dirty at Mudfest
It was a filthy weekend in a small Saskatchewan town.
Dozens of ATV and truck drivers flooded Crystal Springs for the fourth annual Mudfest on Saturday, Aug. 6. They drove their quads and trucks through a 300 ft. trench filled with water, kicking up sprays of mud as they tried to get their vehicles through the sludge.
Organizer Jordan Clayton, who owns the Crystal Springs Hotel with his wife Emerald Debois, said they decided to start Mudfest after purchasing the hotel and realizing they needed a bit of a boost.
“We needed to make a little bit of fun in the middle-of-nowhere,” he said.
