Special Visitor At S.W. Snowden | Eastern North Carolina Now

News release:

    Author and adventurer Bernie Harberts made a stop at S.W. Snowden recently to share mule knowledge and traveling stories with students and staff. Snowden was on his trek between Oriental and Newbern. The students were overwhelmed with wonder and excitement meeting Polly the Mule. Harberts spent time telling students about earlier trips across the state and eventually the country using mule power. Students got to meet Polly up close and admire the wagon and harness. Harberts made a present to the Snowden library of a book he wrote that chronicled his prior long distance trips entitled: Woody and Maggie Walk Across America. To add to the excitement of meeting Harberts and Polly was the presence of a UNCTV filming crew capturing the event for the television show "Our State". The Snowden stop will be a segment of a show documenting Harberts' journey.
