The Mule show is sure to
provide lively
entertainment. Young and
old alike take part. There are rodeo style races for speed,
agility
and control as well as purely fun events. The
latter
include
egg race, drunkards delight, catalog race, and panty hose
race.
The rescue race can be in both categories simultaneously. In
it
one
of the participants stands at the far end of the arena, the other rides
full tilt toward them, snatches them onto the mule behind the rider
(like
the cowboys did in the old westerns) and they ride back at top
speed.
So far it sounds like one of the rodeo style events but when you put a
an overweight rescuer and a not very coordinated and overweight rescuee
into the mix that picture changes. Together the two riders
probably
outweighed the mule. The result is a cloud of dust
with
8 legs flailing in the air. The mule show is held in early
September.
Plan to visit us then.
