In keeping with the serious nature of the Whitley County Mud Dodgeball Championship Tournament called Showdown at the Fairground on June 7, Sunbeam, a clown, has been named to act as judge for the important trophies to be awarded to teams for Cleanest Uniforms, Dirtiest Uniforms, Most Stylish Team, People's Choice, and Old Stick in the Muds.
Sunbeam's qualifications include oversized ties, balloon tricks and size 24 shoes. The Mud Dodgeball tourney is a benefit for Toys for Tots of Whitley County and is sponsored by Whitley Chiropractic & Wellness Center. It will be held at the Whitley County 4-H Fairgrounds at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 7. Admission is $1 and children may attend for free. Only three slots remain for the sixteen-team field.
