Despite the mud, an estimated 3,000 people attended the first annual Bull Bash, put on by the Linn Lions Club Saturday night. The event featured vendors, 20 bull riders, and a band, Twisted Fate, from Sedalia. “We can’t thank our guests enough for not letting a little mud scare (them),” Andy Dudenhoeffer said, “It goes to show just how tough and resilient our spectators are! I couldn’t believe there were that many folks walking, sitting, and standing in that mud. My hat’s off to you!"
