Dilly Mulerider

Dilly Mulerider is a long-time fixture in Murfreesboro, known for offering rides around the town square in a carriage drawn originally by Bluto the Mule and the horse Second Epiphany; the mule later died and was replaced by another horse named Toby. She later offered variations upon these carriage rides, including "lessons around the square" with Wesley Press, an Easter presentation (also featuring Wesley Press, whom she was dating at the time), movies around the square (with DVDs shown in the back of her carriage), a carriage ride around Murfreesboro's many Wal-Mart locations, and a news-oriented carriage ride in which she would talk about various current events after giving herself a little time first to scan the newspaper. She is a Rand Paul supporter, much to the dismay of Jackie, and, in fact, drew a Rand Paul stencil on Toby and branded Second Epiphany with another Rand Paul image. After an apparent accident involving Mercky Shellback's Boat Around the Square, which killed her remaining animals, she joined his touring efforts overseeing a petting zoo on Mercky's double-decker bus (see below). Dilly Mulerider later took to selling "bonnet nuts," hot nuts that were served up in a bonnet.
