It was a busy weekend in Herington July 23 and 24. All around town people got rid of stuff while others snatched up bargains during the community-wide garage sales. An auction had the community center packed but the highlight for many was Herington’s first two-day mud run held at Tripp Field. Brought in by the Kansas Ram Club, the mud run attracted people from all over Kansas. With tires spinning and mud flying drivers pushed their trucks to see how far through the mud pit they could go. It wasn’t just the adults and their trucks running through the mud and getting dirty. A smaller pit was dug out behind the bleachers for people. Mostly children but a few adults jumped in, some simply laid there while others ran in and out, splashed and got covered head to toe with mud. There were also several vendors set up selling food and drinks to help fund a Herington Middle School students’ trip.
