Beep beep 🚗 The Spudmobile is here! We are so grateful. 🧡 An anonymous Moorhead High School alumni donated a truck that will be used at future events and parades.
Over the last two years, local auto shops, businesses and students pieced together this 1989 pickup truck. Senior Carter Norman redid the engine and feels proud to have been a part of this project.
Now, this customized pickup will be around for generations to come! Thank you WDAY TV News for covering the story. #OnceASpudAlwaysASpud
