The Mud Monster



The Mud Monster was at the Magnolia Farmers' Market on Saturday, entertaining children, giving away stickers, and spreading the word about his mission, which is to get folks involved in projects restoring Puget Sound shoreline. That's muddy work. I did see one small child burst into tears at the sight of him, but I guess you could call that collateral damage.

I've been seeing the Mud Monster at farmers' markets all over town for years. It's a great place to do outreach for this kind of program, because markets attract the right demographic: down to earth folks who care about the future. Still, it must get hot inside that mud suit.
