Okay, let me get this straight: Your event was planned for nov. 30 but you cancelled it oct. 29th due to lack of rain!? Thats the goofiest thing I've ever heard. Especially since we are just now hitting the rainy season and your "event" is/was still a month away. This just seemed really wacky to me...

No shizzle, my nizzle. At any of the real events up here if we need more water we just bring in a water truck, no big deal. Besides, its not like they aren't going to get rain in the next month.

all ya gotta do (and yes we have done this before) is get everyone who is going to get a tarp and line the beds....then fill the beds up with water like a swimming pool! when you get to wherer you wanna play dump the tail gate. after about 10-15 trucks EVERYTHING is soaked and you can get muddy. it's either that or make friends with a DOT worker and get him to bring a water truck that they use when re-paving roads.

with all the valleys here in western pa, we dont really have a problem with mud moving. just go to a valley and there you go. i personally would try and make friends with a fireman and try and borrow their pumper truck
