Saturday, Sept. 7
• The World Championships of Mud Football returned to North Conway. The 20-game, 12-team, double-elimination tournament splashed off Sept. 6, kicking off three fun days of two-hand touch football to raise money for local charities. The event, which has attracted worldwide attention since 1975, drew a four-person film production crew shooting footage for a Voice of America Korea this year.
