A Playful Twist on the Classic Game
The Edwards County Fair is set to welcome a crowd of curious onlookers this Wednesday for a novelty that’s part sport, part comedy.
Games are slated to begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Grandstand, with gates opening an hour earlier at 6:00 p.m., giving families plenty of time to settle in before the first whistle blows.
Admission is modest, with adult tickets priced at $10, youth tickets at $5, and children under five admitted free of charge. Tickets can be secured either at the fair’s gate or through the official Edwards County Fair website, making entry convenient for both locals and visitors.
Family Fun for All Ages
What makes the evening especially memorable is the blend of basketball fundamentals and the unpredictable charm of donkeys. Teams of local players will navigate the court while mounted, and the animals’ spontaneous behavior often adds an extra layer of excitement that keeps the audience laughing.
Beyond the novelty, the event promises a safe, family‑oriented atmosphere. Organizers have emphasized that all participants are experienced handlers, and the fair’s staff will be on hand to ensure both player safety and the well‑being of the animals.
