The donkeys are coming back!





Although donkeys may look sweet, during a Donkey Ball event they more often show their stubborn side as Owen Anderson found in last year’s competition. Donkey Ball is coming back to Cook Count High School on February 18.

Donkey Ball is coming to Grand Marais again! As participants learned last year, you can’t make a donkey do what it doesn’t want to do. That makes for hilarious competition and everyone is invited to watch the action in the Cook County High School gym on Thursday, February 18. Come for dinner in the cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. and stay for the challenging matches at 7 p.m. between teachers and CCHS seniors and county workers and elected officials versus a firefighter/law enforcement team.

Intermission events will once again include donkey rides for kids with the friendly donkeys of Dairyland Donkey Ball.

Organizers are working on “candidates” for the Kiss the Donkey Contest. Whoever receives the most votes (and raises the most cash) gets the honor of smooching one of the donkeys! Stay tuned for “election” information and save the date.

You don’t want to miss the return of the donkeys. Proceeds of the event benefit the Cook County High School Band.

LAUGHS GUARANTEED!!!
