It’s time again for Tupper Arts’ Mud Ball

by Dan McClelland

It’s time to clean the caked-on muck off your mud boots this week and get ready to dance, because Saturday will see the return of Tupper Arts’ popular spring-time Mud Ball.

The event which is free and open to the public will again be held this year at Raquette River Brewing, where there’s plenty of space to kick up those newly cleaned boots.

Highlighting the event will be the entertainment of Tupper Lake’s popular classic rock band, Mickey Desmarais and his sister, Claire. The evening will also see the first pouring of the brewery’s limited edition Mud Ball brown ale.

For every glass of the signature beer sold, $1 will go to the arts and entertainment work of Tupper Arts. The first glass of the evening is courtesy of Tupper Arts.

The event begins at 5p.m. and runs until the close of the popular brewery Saturday.

In recent years Tupper Arts, the local not-for-profit organizations which offers dozens of diversified arts, cultural and educational programs, has used the Mud Ball as their gift to the community for its generous support throughout the year. This year it is again saying thank you for all that support.
