The Weekendist: Mule Day Edition

Happy Mule Day! And tomorrow, happy Mule Day! Did you know that in Columbia, TN, just a stone’s throw away, it’s been Mule Day since March 30 – and will continue to be Mule Day until Sunday. The weekend is heavy with Mule-y events like mule pulling, knife auctions, mule parades, square dancing (hopefully not by the mules), clogging (ditto), and boy, could we go on and on. So uh, take a little field trip this weekend. And let us know how it is.
