The fun officially kicks off when Jim & Rafe take the Courthouse Steps at 10:30 AM to lead the beloved Maggie Strut at the 2026 National MooFest.

This special moment features a heartwarming grandfather and grandson duo launching the day with tradition, community spirit, and plenty of MooFest pride.
