The first annual Donkey celebration is on Sideroad 15 here on Aug. 22.
Hosted by the Ontario Miniature Donkey Association, the aim of the day is to raise funds for the East Wellington Community Services, formerly known as EWAG.
At the same time, the group is taking the opportunity to introduce the public to the world of miniature donkeys.
OMDA is a non-profit organization, founded to promote the miniature Mediterranean breed, and to provide an educational forum for owners, breeders, and anyone just interested in the affectionate, long eared creatures.
Miniature donkeys thrive on human companionship.
Just some of the activities planned are raffles, face painting, donkey rides, a barbecue, wagon rides, colouring contests, crafts, balloons and more.
For more information visit the OMDA website or call 519-833-0699.
