Putting together a post last week on free or nearly free activities in Lebanon Missouri, I realized Donkey Basketball was coming to Lebanon as a fundraising event. Donkey basketball? You mean real, live donkeys? people ride the donkeys? in the gym? I had to see this!
Until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Donkey Basketball.
I know, I know, where have I been?
I can assure you this was worth more than the $6 ticket price - joining the donkey's were students and business men and women from Lebanon. It was rather fun to see a few of our local bankers out there on the floor, trying to ride a donkey in the middle of a gym.
If you have the opportunity, donkey basketball is an inexpensive way to have a few laughs while raising money for a good cause.
If you're looking for a community fundraiser, this may be the one for you! There are a variety of companies out there, however, here in Lebanon MO they used Circle A Donkey Ball Company at Donkeyball.net

Debbie... Too funny. I have not been to a donkey basketball game since I was in high school. Funny seeing yellow jackets as that was the name of our high school team too...

Debbie: I have been to a few donkey basketball games...they are an absolute HOOT!! I don't know of anyone who doesn't think they're a blast...except maybe the donkeys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's too long of a time Michael to stay away from the Donkeys! :)
Kim - You're so right, I don't know how anyone could keep a straight face! I think even the donkeys had a good time - a few were rather stubborn and I think had a chuckle at the expense of the rider.
