Welcome to Ozark Mountain Mule and Donkey Days!
Mark your calendar for Ozark Mountain Mule and Donkey Days 2009 Friday, September 11th through Sunday September 13th, 2009 at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, Missouri.
From September 11-13, 2009 many mules and miniature donkeys will converge on the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds to compete in more than 60 events at the Ozark Mountain Mule & Donkey Days Celebration. There is no way to actually describe this celebration. It is part mule and donkey show, part test of skills and part Mule Madness.
Showcased in the main arena of the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, Missouri, Ozark Mountain Mule & Donkey Days is a world class fun event. Crowds of mule and donkey fans are anticipated!
Friday will offer Select Mule, Tack and Equipment auctions. Friday night features old time music and All you can eat Cowboy style Bar-B-Q/Wild Game Cookout - $10.00 Donation. Saturday Night Mule Madness will demonstrate the many skills of the mule and its rider and fill the main arena with excitement for the whole family.
Indoor booth space will be provided for vendors with everything from tack to arts and crafts, t-shirts, to wall decor and furniture. Vendors will operate all three days at the annex, which adjoins the main arena. This will all take place in the heart of Ozark Mountain Country at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds' spacious arena, which accommodates over 2,500 spectators.
