MULE CROSSING: Bishop Mule Days 2010 – Press Release

By Meredith Hodges

 

Bonnie Shields, Meredith Hodges and Jasper enjoyed yet another successful year at Bishop Mule Days! If you love Longears and you’ve never been, you need to experience the largest mule show in the world! Over 700 mules compete in 181 classes…everything from Dressage to cattle classes. It is truly a site to behold!

 

 

 

 

Bishop Mule Days began as a packer’s rendezvous and some things never change. Old friends and new congregate for a week of fun and frolic with Longears! Newt Elsdon is living proof that no matter how old, this 90+ year old man is still willing to make the trek to see family and friends each year…and one of his favorite friends is Jasper the Mule!!

 

 

 

 

Jasper, Bonnie Shields leading “half-ass” Tennessee Mule artist and Meredith Hodges once again rode on the Priefert wagon from Texas in the Bishop Mule Days parade on Saturday pulled by six gorgeous Percheron draft horses that they call Rolling Thunder!

 

This year’s Grand Marshall was producer of RFD-TV’s Beyond Rodeo and Country Western singer Susie Dobbs. Video Mike filmed her interview with Bonnie and Meredith on Thursday morning and on Thursday evening her band opened the concert with the famous Lonestar band! Ask anyone who’s been…there’s nothing like Bishop Mule Days!
