"Mud Fest is a celebration of our environment. We have four loads of dirt that is brought in and a load of sand. We do a little bit of mixture of the two. Anytime you have water and land that comes together, then that creates mud," White said. "Mud Fest" will feature a mud-education station, a Mudder Run, two stages of music, food booths and so much more families to enjoy.

We have a kid washing station, just bring a change of clothes, we got you covered. We all love playing in the mud, right?" White said. "Mud Fest" is this Saturday starting at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are timed-entries. For museum members, tickets are $14, and for non-museum members, tickets are $24.
