Event Description

DONKEY DAY 2019 Meet the Refuge’s Donkey Ambassadors, Enjoy a Concession & Kid’s Craft Activity Donkey ambassadors will be out to meet and greet you as the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge kicks off their Donkey Day Fundraiser on July 27, 2019 from 10am-3pm. This special event has been dormant for a few years while the Refuge focused on other special events for their members and supporters. 2019 marks the first time in 3 years that the Refuge will celebrate ‘Donkey Day’! The Donkey Refuge is hosting their ‘Donkey Day Fundraiser 2019’ to celebrate 20 years of Donkey Rescue. Donkey Day will feature special donkey ambassador barn areas, kids craft area for making donkey ear hats, and a food concession with nachos. The Refuge’s 2019 t-shirts and one of a kind donkey related items are featured in the Donkey Shoppe, and will be available throughout the event. By keeping admission low at $5.00 per person for this special event, Donkey Refuge Founder Shirley Mainprize wants to make sure “everyone gets a chance to visit with our wonderful donkeys and experience their magic, while helping support our mission to provide a safe and permanent home for neglected, abused or unwanted donkeys.” The event, which is a “relaxing, fun and enjoyable day in the country for all ages”, helps raise support and awareness for the Donkeys by collecting donations for Hay, Sponsorships for Ambassador Donkeys, and Memberships to the Refuge. Donations are tax-deductible; the Refuge is a Registered Charity. FMI: Shirley Mainprize – donkeyrefuge@gmail.com/250.679.2778; the Refuge is located at 7877 Skimikin Rd, Chase, BC. Photo features: Sampson and Cotton, Donkey Ambassadors for the Mammoth Herd, who came to the Refuge from Alberta after being abandoned in a field. Cotton, who could not stand when he arrived, now loves to run through the paddocks and pasture.
