The outpouring response following Mule Day s official cancellation earlier this month brought many supporters together over the weekend to discuss a possible revival of Columbia s largest event in May.
The grassroots effort was spearheaded by Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles, who initially called the decision to cancel Mule Day for the second year in a row, absurd. Ogles was joined by several local business owners, nonprofit groups and citizens who wished the events could somehow continue.
Ogles pointed to two major gathering events the city has hosted in the past, the 9/11 Memorial concert on the square last September and the Maury County Fair. He said, according to data, there was no spike in COVID-19 case numbers reported after those events, and the same can be true for Mule Day. If anything, the city is more prepared now than it was in 2020 with access to vaccinations and antibody treatments, he explained.
