Do you know the Muffin Man, the one who lives on Drury Lane in Collegedale? The Little Debbie Muffin Man, the mascot championing beloved snacks like mini muffins, has embarked on a Birthday Tour + will end his celebration in his hometown on Sunday, June 1.

The Muffin Man’s journey began in April, when he went to several destinations in Louisville, KY like the Louisville Slugger Museum. This month, he went to Music City for an appearance at the Nashville Sounds baseball game.
