Annual Mule Camp Market draws record crowds

GAINESVILLE - The weekend was picture perfect for a fall festival in Hall County, just the way the Gainesville Jaycees ordered it.

The Jaycees took over the downtown Gainesville Square Thursday evening for the annual Mule Camp Market festival and didn't turn it back over to the city until late Sunday night.

Organizers estimated well over 75,000 patrons visited the hundred or so craft, food and non-profit booths that set up for business for the three day event.

Mule Camp Market is the hometown fall festival that was originally called the Curb Market that later evolved into the Corn Tassel Festival.
