MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY AT NC STATE FAIR

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014

Raleigh, NC – Oak Grove Technologies teamed up with Mountain Mule Packers to celebrate Military Appreciation Day at the North Carolina State Fair to showcase pre-mission training.

Every October, the NC State Fair attracts around 1 million visitors to Raleigh, NC. This year, Oak Grove Curriculum Developer Charles Anderson, Director, Rusty Nance, and Marketing Coordinator, Kelly Burns, joined the owner of Mountain Mule Packers, Mike Toberer, at a booth in the Governor James B. Hunt Horse Complex to educate fairgoers about mule packing courses and other training services. The team even walked alongside fellow Veterans and Servicemembers in the Military Appreciation Day Parade.

Later, Mike Toberer conducted a demonstration on properly packing up a camp using mules. The demonstration showcased a variety of the techniques included in the horsemanship and mule packing courses that Oak Grove Technologies and the Mountain Mule Packers jointly offer.

Courses range in complexity from basic horsemanship and animal packing to applied team building integrating the animals. Course duration ranges from one day to ten days and focus on the importance of proper animal care and the safety of both the rider and the animals. There are a variety of courses offered to civilians for recreational purposes as well.
