Mule Day is festival in my home town of Winfield, AL. I'm sure many things come to your mind when you think about this event. I have only missed one Mule Day in my entire life, all 26 years of it. It may not seem like a big deal, but to small town like Winfield it is a very big deal. It is also a tradition for many people. It was started in 1981 and has grown every year since. Winfield is a town of about 5000 people. On Mule Day weekend, about 30,000 visit Winfield. There is a parade at 11:00 am on main street on Saturday morning. Yes, it has mules, but also floats, bands, tractor, Civil war soliders, etc. There are art & crafts, a flea market area, food for every taste, and rides for children. The Winfield website has additional information.

Here is a pic from last year. I will put some new pics up after Saturday.
If you are in the area or have a free day, it is definitely worth the drive. Maybe you'll even see me there.
Dates: Friday Night 09/26 and Saturday 09/27
