While the threat of the coronavirus has caused the cancellation of most professional and major college sports, at least for the time being, there's a game that's going on tonight (March 13) that should satisfy anyone's appetite to watch a competitive athletic competition.
Festus Project Prom will hold its fourth annual donkey basketball game at 7 p.m. in the Ralph B. Tynes Gymnasium at Festus High School, 501 Westwind Drive.
For the uninitiated, a donkey basketball game involves teams of students, staff members or both playing a standard game of basketball -- each riding on the back of a donkey. Some of the donkeys are more willing to play than others, which leads to some of the ensuing hijinks.
Tickets are $7 in advance or $10 at the door.
Pay in advance to the school secretary or pay through Paypal at https://paypal.me/festusprojectprom or call Lynn McKenzie at 314-599-8266.
