Memory Lane: Sept. 13, 1982

Posted

From the September 13, 1982 edition of The Wayne Herald:

Mud in your eye?

The second annual Berry Hall women's Mud Wrestling tournament drew nearly 20 contestants.

Trophies were awarded to the top two finishers in each of three weight classes.

Mud covered contestants from face to toe as the action was wild in front of hundreds of spectators.

Following the mud wrestling, contestants competed in a hog chase.

Teams consisting of one male and one female raced against the clock to catch a greased pig and tie a ribbon on its tail.

An outdoor barbecue also was held with the activities taking place north of the Rice parking lot at WSC.

The activities were part of "Hogwild Weekend."

A football game between WSC and Chadron State was followed by a dance Saturday nigh to cap the weekend.
