"Mule Day in Columbia, Tennessee, has been a tradition since around 1840, when the first Monday in April brought huge crowds to the animal livestock show and the Mule Day Market (originally called Breeder's Day). Mules were such a big business in Maury County that, at one time, the Columbia Mule Day had the distinction of being one of the largest livestock markets in the world. Mule Day has evolved into a week-long celebration of the mule."
Will Rogers was quoted as saying, "What the thoroughfare of Wall Street will do to you if you don't know a stock, Columbia will do to you if you don't know a mule."
