The South Fork Music and Mud Festival is underway, and the South Fork Dirt Riders are ready to hit the track.  The festival – which began yesterday and runs through Sunday – attracts visitors from across the country for the riding and also several other fun events.  The tradition has lasted for a quarter-century and has undergone many changes since its first edition. 

Shelby Vickery and Brett Moody are with the South Fork Dirt Riders.  They say their parents and grandparents began the festival, and responsibilities have since been passed down. 

The festival kicked off yesterday, but the main events begin today.  They include the truck tug and bounty hole, along with plenty of live music.

Vickery and Moody are both proud to be behind the effort and enjoy how it brings dirt racing enthusiasts together. 

The track is located off Illinois Route 104 just east of Jeisyville.  More information is available at www.southforkdirtriders.net.

Shelby Vickery and Brett Moody appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
