Hank's Birthday Party

​
Hank is turning 1 year old and he is having a party:-) Stop by and help him celebrate with all his donkey friends. Hank is our precious orphaned, donkey who was rejected by his mother last summer at birth. He has decided to raise money for Save Your Ass Long Ears Rescue for his birthday. Meet all of the new foals that were born this year. The event is free. Donations to Hank's charity are optional but much appreciated. You will have an opportunity to take selfies with donkeys and enter a drawing for a chance to win "A Day with the Donkeys". The barns and gardens will be open to visit. Activities and games for kids. Locally made wooden and metal donkey ornaments will be for sale. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the donkey rescue. We would prefer if dogs stayed home for this as we will have donkeys out of the pens and they can get nervous around the dogs. Thank you!
