DAIRYLAND DONKEY BASKETBALL SHOW at the Watervliet High School Gym on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 starting at 7:00 PM! It’s basketball played on real, live donkeys and it will be wilder than a rodeo and funnier than a circus! All local players will be riding, so come out and see someone you know try to ride a donkey and play basketball at the same time. Players include staff members from each of our four buildings, high school students, and even some community members! It’s a thrill a minute, a spill a minute. Laugh as you’ve never laughed before at the wild and crazy donkey basketball show!
This fun-filled show is sponsored by the Watervliet Panther PTO. All of the proceeds will be for the benefit of the South Elementary School Playground Fund. Tickets are $7 in advance or $10 at the door, children 5 and under are free with adult admission.
