Where good mules & nice folks gather!

This event, held annually near the end of June, is a family-oriented weekend of fun & laughter.  Events are not judged & there are no entry fees other than a donation to the "prize" table!  Prizes are awarded to every competitor & everyone gets to choose their own prize starting with the person who entered the most events & working down to the person who entered the least events...sometimes this is the funniest part of the weekend!

There are no admission charges & there's plenty of dry camping...i.e. no hookups available.  Outhouse facilities are available in several areas at the grounds.

Every year this weekend has many events for riding mules, driving teams & pack mules...there's always something fun to do & see!  We have a swap meet, a great place to buy, sell or swap  "treasures" & crafts.  All of the events are punctuated with the sweet sounds of the many musicians who come from all over Western Canada to entertain us & join in the fun.  Plus there's the great breakfast available both days, the wonderful Saturday & Sunday evening suppers, & great food at the concessions, open all day, offering everything from pop & chips to burger, to ice cream!
