SCENES OF THE SOUTH SOUTHERN EVENTS JCB MUDFEST Audrey O’Donnell / Katie Walker ➨ The 6th Annual JCB Mud Run was on fire! Not liter- ally, but it sure felt like it. However the sweltering heat was no match for competitors. With temperatures well into the 90s, runners still managed to conquer 30 grueling obstacles and five miles of mucky mud! All proceeds for the event benefited The Lady Bamford Early Childhood Education Center, which promotes the economic, educational and spiritual growth of women, children and families - making it well worth the heat.
