Mule Jump Poster
All trainers of jumping mules are invited to participate in the Festival’s mule jump competition. Prizes of $100 (first place), $75 (second place), and $50 (third place) will be awarded in each of two classes based on the mules height: up to 52 inches, and taller than 52 inches. Standard Missouri rules will apply. Water and ample space for trailers will be available. Richie Dement of Centerville will coordinate the event again this year.
Pre-registration is recommended but not required. Contestants who wish to pre-register may contact Matt Meacham at 417-372-3177 or [email protected]. All participants are asked to check in on-site by 2:30 p.m. Saturday, June 20. Those who have questions about specific policies and procedures may contact Dement at 573-648-2524.
The competition will take place at 3 p.m. in the parking lot near the West Plains Senior Center at the corner of East Main and South Curry streets. Admission to it, as well as all festival activities, is free.
The mule jump at the Festival in 2011 became the subject of an article in the Wall Street Journal, Meacham noted. “Although we can’t guarantee that competitors will receive international media coverage again this year, we can guarantee that they’ll have the attention of an enthusiastic, supportive audience and the appreciation of the organizers of the Old-Time Music, Ozark Heritage Festival.”
