Cabool resident Samantha Gann takes a picture of her daughter, Kaelynn, as she leans against the Muddin' Mater prior to last weekend's Mud Bog competition.

The Houston Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a Mud Bog competition staged by the Mid-Missouri Off-Roaders (MMOR) last Saturday in the arena at the county fairgrounds. Due to the death of someone close to them, most of the MMOR’s regular racers were not present for the event, and only two of the specially-designed mud bog vehicles made runs in the exceedingly wet course in the arena.
