Over the weekend at the Platte Valley Community Center in Saratoga, family fun ambled onto the Kirsten Campbell Court very slowly. The place also smelled like a stable. Donkey basketball-the sport European Monarchs would have played if only they had the good sense to think of it rather than polo-combines the athleticism of basketball and the raw power of thundering donkey hooves clad in rubber shoes to prevent the gym surface from being marred. And, it returned to Saratoga... Full story
