Wolfville’s mascot, Mudley, has a birthday this summer. Mudley is 37 years old.
When Nicolle Muir was 10 years old, she won a contest at Wolfville Elementary School to create a mascot for Mud Creek days. The Grade 4 student entered the competition, she recalled, at the last minute. Her Mudley concept was based on her experience mud sliding and a whitish Al Capp cartoon character she was obsessed with at the time.
“Shmoo was cute and kind of rolly polly,” Muir recalled about her inspiration. So she drew a unique mud-coloured image and came up with the name.
Her prize was cutting an official Mudley cake, a photo in the Advertiser and local America, Muir chuckles. “It was awesome,” she recalled.
Born Nicolle Francis, she grew up on Orchard Avenue and can describe the not entirely pleasant sensation of thick, dark mud drying on her limbs. Muir grew up and spent many years away in New York City and Scotland.
Three years ago, she and her husband Grant moved back to the Wolfville area to raise their daughter, who is now 15.
“My family is here, and I wanted my daughter to live in a small town where everybody knows your name. Wolfville is a great town.”
Muir’s late father used his woodworking skills to create little wooden carvings of Mudley. His talent adorns a town trophy or two.
Of the mascot she invented, Muir says, “I love that Mudley's still going strong.”
Wolfville seamstress Audrey Deal created the first Mudley costume. Retired town staff member Pat Stewart, the Fezziwig Society costume maker, started fabricating the second and third editions.
“I think we’re on the fourth now,” Stewart notes with a grin. “My kids all did it. They were not happy. (It was hot inside). There were even summer and winter versions.”
Generally, the town’s summer staff have the honour of climbing into the mud creature’s costumes. A fund in Mudley’s name now collects money toward recreational fees for those needing support.
