Muddy Puddles Mess Fest To Be Held On August 3

Proceeds to Benefit Pediatric Cancer Research

July 22, 2019

The annual Muddy Puddles “Mess Fest” will be held Saturday, August 3rd at Kiwi Country Day Camp in Mahopac, NY from 11:00am to 4:00pm. The Muddy Puddles Project is a fundraising platform for the Ty Louis Campbell (TLC) Foundation in support of pediatric cancer research.

At its core, The Muddy Puddles Project is a vehicle to remind parents to stop sweating the small stuff; but it is also a means to raise money for the Ty Louis Campbell (TLC) Foundation and co-fund childhood cancer research with their charity partners, Solving Kids' Cancer. 

The Muddy Puddles “Mess Fest” is a huge event in the tri-state area. The format for the “Mess Fest” event is similar to a carnival with various tented areas and a wide range of family-friendly activities including swimming, paddle boats, a climbing wall, ziplines, bungee jumping, treasure hunts, a whipped cream pie toss, the Slopstacle course, splatter paint, glitter crafts, food fights, a jumbo slip n' slide, raffles, bounce houses, tons of other activities and hundreds of kid-friendly prizes (and of course, don't forget the giant muddy puddles for jumping and a fire truck to hose kids off).

DO THE DIRTY DUNK! The Mess Fest will award FREE ADMISSION to each participant who signs up for the Dirty Dunk. There is a minimum fundraising goal of $100 per individual (for example, if your entire family of 4 creates a team, set your goal at $400). At the Mess Fest, they reserved 1PM – 2PM for all participants to jump in the mud, and their professional photographers will be on-hand to award you with a high-resolution photo!
