Columbia Tennessee, Mule Capital of the World (self proclaimed if you look to
Wikipedia a a reference). I reside in this quaint little town with a population of approximately 35,000. I work for the local governing body, and have lived here since around 1996. Being here for a number of years, I am very familiar with an annual celebration,
Mule Day. This is a celebration of, well, mules as the name implies. The event attracts thousands of people to my small town from many different states. Spring is in the air, many unfamiliar faces are seen smiling as they pass through a small town filled with heavy traffic, the delectable aroma of food (mostly fried) permeating the air, and the all too familiar song "Rocky Top" is being played from every other vehicle and corner DJ booth. Goings on at Maury County Park attract folks day in and day out. This is the event hub for Mule Day.
