Jackson, Tenn. – 51ÉçÇø, in cooperation with Lambuth
University and Freed-Hardeman University, will host MudFest 2000 Saturday,
April 29 on the Union campus.
The mud volleyball tournament, the fifth annual event of its kind, is
co-sponsored by the Student Government Associations of Union and Lambuth
and the Student Alumni Association of Freed-Hardeman.
More than 35 teams attended last year, according to Lee Scott, a senior
at Lambuth and one of the organizers of this year's tournament. Teams
range from groups of students to teams of local businesses like WNWS
101.5.
"We even have one team coming from Missouri this year," says
Scott, "and several of the radio stations in the area like 101.5 will
be participating."
Teams must have a minimum of six players to be eligible to participate,
with at least two women per team and every age group is welcome. The
tournament fee of $12 per person includes lunch and a T-shirt and all
proceeds will benefit the West Tenn. Children's Home.
More than 30 local businesses have donated cash or prizes for MudFest
2000 including Chili's, T.J. Mulligan's, O'Charley's, Lord's Gym and
Texaco Express Lube. For more information regarding MudFest 2000, please
