Highlights for April
I think spring is almost here at last! It's hard to believe it, but soon it will be summer. I was just looking through the event calendar for April. Here are a couple highlights you might enjoy attending.
Columbia Mule Day - April 1-5
This show is being held this week and weekend in Columbia, TN. Their website describes this show as follows - "Begun in 1840 as "Breeder's Day", a meeting for mule breeders, it now attracts over 200,000 people and takes place over four days. In addition to mules, traditional Appalachian food, music, dancing, and crafts are featured." More information about this fun event can be found on their website at http://www.muleday.com
