Want the dirt on Hog Days? Here it is! The Hog Wallow
Classic...and we're thrilled that it's back after a one year
absence in 2009. This will be the 26th installment of mud
volleyball AND the Kewanee unit of
the National Guard is once again doing the set-up and hosting chores
so you know it's gonna be good! The basics are simple. 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 above, are two teams, volleyballs and nets pretty much totally covered in muck by the end of each match. Yeah! Let's see you spike that ball NOW mud boy! The entry proceeds go to the Kewanee Park District Youth Programs. Plaques go to the 1st through 4th place winning teams. And entered team members end up with a souvenir t-shirt that looks good with just about any shade of mud! Click on the muddy pig on either side of this page for the rules and entry form. So come for the pork chops...stay for the mud. Oh, and a change of clothes...that would be a good thing! |
