Another New Show
Westmoreland Tennessee is putting
on a Mule Day Celebration. Last year Westmoreland decided to have a mule day
parade to see if there would be enough interest in putting together a fall version
of Columbia’s spring mule day event. The parade was a huge success so this year
they are taking it a step further by making it a 3 day event and adding a wagon
train. There will be vendors, a parade and shows throughout the weekend.
The organizers contacted me
several months ago to see if I could help them put together a miniature donkey
and mule show like the one Columbia has. We (the TDA officers) put together a
class list and submitted it to them, which they loved. Next we were offered a
couple time slots of which we chose Saturday October 1st at 10 AM
with registration at 9 AM. This is a great opportunity for us to get another
Tennessee show where someone else is willing to do the work. At this point they
have hired Dawn Ware as the judge, they have someone to do the registering
along with an announcer and a ringmaster. The show chairman is Deloris Garrison

On Friday September 30th
at 10AM they kick off their event with the mule shows. At 10AM you have the
Halter Mule show and at 2PM the Driving show. Later at 6PM is the Gaited and
Western Pleasure mule show. Then on Saturday October 1st The
Miniature Mule and Donkey show starts at 10AM with registration at 9AM. The parade
kicks off at 11AM and Mule pulling starts at 2 PM. At 6PM if you like to dance there is a barn
dance where they will be giving away a fiddle signed by Charlie Daniels. Sunday
starts off with Cowboy Church and then there will be several western fun
events.

are working on a new show arena for this event.
