celebrates agriculture

and the environment

Special to the Rappahannock News

How do you get a mule to jump as high as your head? Find out from Steve Foster, proud owner of Missie the International Champion Jumping Mule at the Rivers and Roots Festival, Saturday, June 25th in Sperryville.

Missie holds the world’s high jumping record for her species: a whopping 73 inches! She’s just one of the stars who will turn out for a day-into-night celebration of agriculture and the environment featuring cowpie bingo, a bio-diesel gokart, half-dozen bands (including an evening concert by “calypso-grass” greats, Eddie From Ohio) and a host of experts demonstrating local initiatives that are helping to advance a new era in American agriculture and environmental management.
