The Delmarva Coon Hunters’ Association is happy to announce that their annual Mule Show will be back in Pittsville for its 38th year! The Oct. 18 show is the group’s main fundraising event. It will include mule jumping, Western pleasure, barrel racing, pole bending, obstacle course and the famous monkey in the tree.

There will also be demonstrations of coon dogs treeing, Team of Draft horses dragging the arena, Wicomico County Sheriff’s K9 Unit and Wallops Island Honor Guard. Maryland’s High School Rodeo team will have a booth to showcase their activities. Several of the Maryland’s High School Rodeo team members began competing in the Delmarva Coon Hunters’ Association events.

The club was founded in the 1970’s to foster interest in raccoon hunting with mules and equestrian events. The club’s grounds and pond were used at one time as a training area for the dogs and mules.

The club is a nonprofit organization with a goal of promoting goodwill and fellowship with love of mules and horses. The events are designed to showcase how versatile and fun the mules are. Adult and youth classes will compete in this event.
