Come and celebrate the release of the resident Cripple Creek Wild Donkey Herd from their winter grazing grounds into the city. This is an annual event and the donkeys are very excited to leave their pasture for the greener grasses throughout the community. The release takes place on May 27th at 11 a.m.. The best location to welcome the donkeys to town is on C Street, near the Thurlow Avenue intersection. The national anthem will be sung at the City Park at noon followed by a community picnic. BYO lunch or buy a box lunch for a donation to Two Mile High Club. Live music provided by Mayor Annie Durham, Barbershop Harmony with the “Altitones” quartet and members of the Woodland Park Wind Symphony Mountain Brass Band.
