**Make Plans Now for Mule Day**

Mule Day, the largest annual event in Maury County, is scheduled for April 3-6. This celebration offers something for everyone and goes beyond just a focus on mules; it features food, arts and crafts, live music, dancing, and a parade to kick off the festivities.

This year, Mule Day is excited to welcome the Mountain Mule Ranch Packers, the heroes of Hurricane Helene.

To start the week, Maury County will welcome a wagon train that has traveled through rural communities for two days, making its way to Maury County Park. Observers can gather on Lion Parkway on Wednesday, April 2, in the mid-afternoon to welcome the wagon train as it arrives at the park.

Each day will host a variety of contests, events, and exciting activities suitable for all ages. These events will include a dog show, live music, mule clinics, a classiest and trashiest wagon show, various mule contests and shows, a liars’ contest, line dancing, and much more.

Funds raised from Mule Day each year support local schools, civic organizations, and various construction and site improvements at Maury County Park. Benefits from the success of the Mule Day Festival include school programs, scouting organizations, Maury Magic Riders, bathhouses, arenas, RV hookups, and more.

2024 marks the 50th year of the annual Mule Day Celebration. To enhance and concentrate the charitable efforts of the Maury County Bridle and Saddle Club and Mule Day, they have chosen to focus on providing scholarship support for Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Vocational Training for the youth of Maury County. The first class of Mule Day WORKS recipients is currently enrolled, earning certificates in welding, electrical work, office management, and medical technologies.
