The Grandview Homecoming & Mud Bog Weekend returns tomorrow and will continue through Sunday.

Homecoming Chair Dennis Lukey said that the mud bog portion of the event was started by the Grandview Kinsmen Club six years ago to bring mud bogging to the Parkland.

"It [puts participants']... quads, Skidoos, cars and trucks [to the test]... and [has them] try to get through [the course] the quickest... There's prize money [as well]... $10,000 [will be up for grabs] this year," he added.

In addition to the mud bog, Lukey said that there will be a lot of other festivities going on as well.

"[There's a] pancake breakfast every morning... an art display going on at the Drop-In Centre... all kinds of barbecues going on... [a] mechanical... bull down at the park, [and a] Little Brown Jug beer sampling," he added.

Dennis Lukey also said that there's going to be a reunion supper tomorrow at 5 p.m. that's open to anyone who attended Grandview High School prior to 1984.

"You didn't have to actually graduate. As long as you were in school for a day or two prior to 1984, you're in for the homecoming," he added.

According to Lukey, they will only be selling weekend passes, which will cost $20 for adults, $10 for youth aged 13-17 and will be free for children aged 12 and under.

The complete schedule of events can be found on the Grandview Homecoming website.
