Kearney is gearing up for a night of wild fun as Donkey Basketball takes over the gym at Kearney Middle School on Thursday, October 9th. The event promises an evening filled with laughter, friendly competition, and a true sense of community.

This is no ordinary game. Local business owners, police officers, teachers from every Kearney school, Mayor Randy Pogue, and Superintendent Dr. Emily Miller will saddle up and ride donkeys as they dribble and shoot their way into basketball history. The unpredictable antics of live donkeys on the court create a unique and hilarious spectacle you won’t want to miss.

Doors open at 6:15 pm and tip-off is set for 7 pm. Tickets are available for $10 in advance through the Kearney Middle School Facebook page or $15 at the door, with free admission for preschool children. Families can enjoy more than just the game—donkey rides, a Kiss the Donkey contest, a photo booth for capturing smiles, and plenty of treats at the concession stand ensure entertainment for everyone.

Donkey Basketball promises to be a night of family fun and nonstop laughter, so mark your calendars and prepare for a memorable evening with the Kearney community. Join in the excitement on Thursday, October 9th, at Kearney Middle School, and experience a sporting event you’ll never forget!
