You can’t make a donkey do what it doesn’t want to do, as participants in Donkey Basketball sometimes learn.
Come one, come all, it’s a fun evening of Donkeyball!
This invitation comes from the Cook County High School band which is hosting an evening of Donkeyball at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 6 to raise funds for the band trip in 2016. The community is invited to come watch classmates, friends and neighbors play basketball while riding live donkeys.
One game will be a match between Cook County Law Enforcement and the Grand Marais Fire Department.
Donkey rides will be available at halftime for kids 12 and under.
The audience will find out the “winner” of the Kiss-the-Donkey contest. Voting is open now for students and community members to see which of the Cook County Schools administration will have to kiss a real, live, donkey— Superintendent Beth Schwarz, Principal Gwen Carman or Principal Adam Nelson. There are donation buckets at the school in which votes can be cast. The public is invited to come out and “vote” with cash. Whoever raises the most money will have to kiss a donkey in front of the crowd.
Tickets are available in advance at $7 each at Mike’s Holiday, Arrowhead Pharmacy or the Cook County Schools office. They are also available for purchase from CCHS band members. Tickets will be $9 at the door, so get them in advance and save.
