SAVE MULE DAY!… Mule Day is a tradition that is important to our community and it’s up to you and I to stand together and celebrate the history and traditions of our great community…. So join me and show your support by Donating. Every dollar counts… whether it’s $20, $100 or perhaps your business would like to be a sponsor at $1,000 or be a title sponsor at $5,000.”
The campaign goal is $20,000 with over $7,855 raised, as of the writing of this article.

the city of Columbia would have had enough money for the mule day parade if they haven’t wasted it to have the street in front of the post office tore up for over a year just to build a sidewalk that nobody uses and to plant trees along the street that no one will care about having to drive on it to get to work everyday was rough on my car and not to mention it took extra time to get through the mess.
Screw that racist tradition, it’s nothing but a hassle for people living here. Glad I don’t have to deal with it this year.
