𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐏 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 | The City of Gainesville, Georgia continues to monitor Hurricane Isaias and the weekend weather forecast to prepare for scheduling shifts at Mule Camp Market, for which the City provides Mule Camp Trolley service. The Gainesville Jaycees, host of Mule Camp, are also evaluating potential impacts to the event, including safety of attendees, vendors and staff.
