Dozens of local youth and parents get a little colorful and dirty during the annual Mills Messy & Mighty Fun Run on Saturday morning. Volunteers threw powdered color at participants throughout the fun run, while also blowing bubbles and having slime for the participants to run through. The event was held on the track and also included a mud crawl and bubbles. Proceeds from the fun run benefit the New York Mills Parent Nest Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).
