Moser's Supermarket rolled to victory in the annual Mule Derby Friday evening at the eighth annual Fulton Street Fair.

Although it's dubbed a mule derby, no real mules are involved in the annual Mule Derby at the Fulton Street Fair.

The "mules" are really wheeled carts that have uniform specifications that roll downhill and are powered only by gravity.

At the eighth annual Fulton Street Fair they roll along suspended cables down Fulton's bumpy brick streets just west of the Callaway County Courthouse.
