It takes many volunteers and the help of other organizations to keep the Clark County Mule Festival running smoothly every year. The Clark County R-1 FFA helped with parking and shuttles, while buttons were sold by a Relay for Life group and the Clark County Middle School Boosters provided the trash pickup. A big thank you from the Clark County Mule Festival Committee goes out to all the volunteers and help who make this a great annual event, as well as the many contestants, spectators, and vendors who turn out to participate. We would also like to thank our community for supporting our endeavors through the years. Remember, you can keep up-to-date with us throughout the year and see pictures from past years by following us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/clarkcountymulefestival/) or visiting our website (www.clarkcountymulefestival.com).   We hope to see you next year at the 32nd Annual Clark County Mule Festival on September 15, 16, & 17, 2017!

This article was really helpful for me to catch up on what happened at the Mule Festival. I wasn't around because I had a business trip at Australia and I'd regret missing it. My family and I have been coming to these since I was 3 and I always enjoy the festival activities and food. Nothing beats hanging with you family and enjoying a glass of Ice-cold Lemonade while watching Bat N Barrel, Mule Jumps, Musical Tires, Egg and Spoon and My personal favorite the Three Leg Race. Can't wait for this year's festival and this time I won't miss it.
