Adventurous Consumers to Have Mud-Slingin', Stick-Grabbin', Wrangler-Winnin', Good Time at the State Fair of Texas

120 consumers prove how muddy they are willing to get to win an all-new 2007

The event will literally bring the phrase "stick-in-the-mud" to life when up to 120 consumers race through a giant pool of knee-deep mud looking for buried sticks, earning points as they go. Four lucky 'mud-slingers' will make it to the final round and one lucky winner will be awarded the keys to an all-new four-door 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The top three runners-up will each receive a Jeep Adventure Prize Package.
