Lebanon MO donkey basketballUntil a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Donkey Basketball.

I know, I know, where have I been?

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!

Lebanon MO

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.

Thanks for posting the video of donkey basketball. I'm a graduate of Lebanon, about 25 years ago. One of my best friends married Pat McGinnis, but I've lost touch. I still visit Lebanon from time to time to, but am amazed at how much it has changed over the years. I guess it makes me appreciate my small town in East Tennessee. We border Watts Bar Lake off the TN River and mountains 5 miles away. Our elementary school is researching donkey basketball for a fundraiser, and I found your website in the search. It was nice to see inside the YellowJacket gym again. It's been a long time.
