Mule Day is a celebration of mules and their 4-legged comrades and has been held in Columbia, TN, usually in April, every year for the past 200 years. Owners of mules and horses preen their steeds for the Saturday parade. Of course, there are booths set up where you can buy the local fare if desired. There is, of course, a Queen with her court. My parents are orginally from TN, and in fact, have a couple of relatives that have paraded through the streets. It's just a fun thing to do.....
If you want more information, here is the link to the official site. There are pictures and all kinds of other things. Enjoy!

Thanks for the enlightenment on Mule Day. I'm obviously going to have to go one day just to learn the difference between a mule, a donkey, and a horse. <grin>

We had intended to go to mule day, but it was raining so hard we figured it couldnt' be worth it. I went last year and did an entry on it....
