Mule Day is big success
More than 2,500 visitors, including one-year-old Brady Hammatt, attended the 28th annual Mule Day Southern Heritage Festival Saturday, Washington Wilkes Chamber of Commerce Director Ashley Barnett said. As in years past, Barnett said, local and visitors alike filled the Callaway Plantation to step back in time to Georgia's pioneer days, enjoying the products of primitive craftsmen and demonstrations of old-time skills."We had a wonderful turnout," Barnett said. "I want to thank all the sponsors, volunteers and participants who worked so hard to make it happen again this year."
