Times have changed but I appreciate Wayne for allowing our youth to see what life was like before tractors took over our fields. His trusted and well-mannered mules, Mabel and Jane, listen to his every command—they are beautiful animals that he loves very much.
When not in the fields, they are hitched to the blue “mule skinner” wagon for a weekly trip to Bennett to meet the food truck — just shows how the times have changed in the past 60 or more years. If it’s August, you will see Mabel and Jane in the Farmers Day parade in Robbins. Wayne’s family have participated since it started over 50 years ago. In October, Wayne and his team offer free hayrides at our church’s annual Trunk or Treat. The kids are so excited to ride in the wagon. What’s more, Wayne and his mules have escorted many newly married couples from our church to their homes so that they can start their new lives together.
Wayne is a legend in our neighborhood and he attends many events with his girls.
Thank you, Wayne Hussey, for always making us smile!
