It's time for long eared equine owners to get their asses up to Holly Gray Park near Flatwoods in Braxton County. About 40 donkeys and about 100 mules from half-a-dozen states are expected Saturday and Sunday. It's the state superbowl for mule owners. We've even got shoes on Slick Sue, the Aaron family mule for the first time in 17 years. Mules, sometimes seen as stubborn and always focused on their own self preservation, tend to be like fine wine and get better with age.

If you want a close up look at these animals, the show will feature 52 classes. Money goes for the barn raising fund and the barn was good enough to put Bill Clinton in it during the primary. Rolling toward the mule and donkey show, the show gets underway at 4:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon with fun classes.

The mule and donkey show resumes at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.
