The Plamondon Mud Bogs took place over the July 12 weekend.
The down-and-dirty event, which has been a staple of the community for decades, featured a variety of trucks and modified buggies roaring through the dirt track and mud pits at the Plamondon Festival Grounds. This year's selection of mud and dirt buggies included everything from stock vehicles driven by local racers to pro-modified machines raced by drivers who compete across North America. A local demolition derby event was also held over the weekend.
Although the spectator seats weren't full for the races, organizers were offering a full-size $23,000 prize purse to winners in the drivers' seats.
Other events through the weekend in Plamondon included a pancake breakfast, a children’s festival, a "redneck rust and shine vehicle show," along with social nights on Friday and Saturday featuring live music and dancing.
The mud races, which are sanctioned by the Canadian Mud Racing Organization (CMRO) returned to Plamondon last year after taking a three-year hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic.
