audience got a treat. Earlier in the day the
Redneck Mudslingers had hosted mud
bogs on the south end of the fairground.
The event ran all day and featured several
trucks specifically modified to navigate
through a trench that was more than knee
deep in gummy mud.
One local Mudslinger, Ron Adams of
Ron’s Towing in Lincoln, agreed to per-
part of a “Big truck” tug-o-war in front
of the grandstand. Adams attached the
rear bumper of his super-sized 2,000
horsepower Chevrolet to the rear bumper
of the Oldmanuto driven by Scott Lewis of
Springfield. As the two went at it, Adams
truck, the Junk Yard Dawg 2, stood up and
barked at the moon. The decibels coming
from the two vehicles as they attempted
to pull each other the length of the track
was so deafening most everyone in the
grandstand was covering their ears.
The final feature of the night was the semi-
stock cars. Among the participants was
local attorney Jim Grimaldi, returning for
a second year to the local derby. Grimaldi
hung in with his black number 8 sporting
a large white flag, until about the half-
way mark. Then the car succumbed to the
banging and bruising of the competition.
The final heat also featured the second lady
driver of the night, Ally Swan, who stuck it
out with the boys for quite a while.
The 2015 Miss Logan County Fair Queen
Lizzie Ford was on hand throughout the
evening and at the end of the night did
the drawings for the various prizes as
well as the 50/50 drawing that benefited
the Lincoln Rural Fire Protection District
Explorers group.
Little Miss Logan County Preslee Sherren
also made an appearance but called it a
night early, exiting the field with her head
resting on dad’s shoulder.
