Given its agricultural nature, it seems appropriate that someone would win a mule during Carson Valley Days.
Larry and Carol Hough won a Kawasaki Mule 3000 all-terrain vehicle in a raffle sponsored by the Sharkey Begovich Swing for the Cure golf tournament.
Carol and her husband have lived in Carson City since the 1960s and are native Nevadans.
She recently underwent back surgery and when she saw the ATV on display she told her family members and visitors to buy raffle tickets instead of flowers, gifts or candy.
On the winning ticket, her daughter, Lesley Otto wrote, "We really want to win."
