It’s Spudtastic!

This weekend we are celebrating the 67th Munger Potato Festival, hosted by The Munger Volunteer Firemen Corp. It is just a good ol’ time with USA Demolition Derby officiating Mungers’ Figure 8 and Demo Derby. There is something for everyone! Whether it is the 5k Spud Run, Cornhole Tournament, a hometown parade, or great bands in the entertainment tent. It will be SPUDTASTICALLY awesome time for the whole family.

Be sure to join Flint Scottish as we march in the parade on Sunday! Let’s see if we can take first place for Best Marching Band this year!

Then be sure to meet us at the entertainment tent for a short performance and some free potatoes!

Proceeds from the event helps pay for local recreation offerings. All of the money raised stays in Munger to benefit their softball leagues, tennis courts, community center, ball diamonds and maintaining and keeping up their area.
