FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Donkey History Museum is excited to announce that the annual Donkey Jamboree will be back in Mesquite, NV, on March 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The community is invited out for this free event, where they can meet Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue donkeys that are available for adoption, shop with local vendors, enjoy live music from the Mesquite Cafe Blues Band, meet PVDR founders Mark and Amy Meyers, enjoy games, participate in giveaways, and more.
“The Donkey History Museum has really put our small town of Mesquite on the map,” said museum staffer Barbara Hermon. “We not only get local visitors but visitors from all over the World and our annual jamboree gives us an opportunity to invite those past & present visitors to meet Mark & Amy, enjoy the festivities, and see some donkeys. It’s a smile on your face kind of day.”
“The museum has great galleries of information from the importance of what donkeys have done to help build not only America, but their importance in the rest of the World,” Hermon continued. “After touring our galleries, watching some of our movies in our theater, and enjoying the displays, photos, and of course engaging in our sluice in our mining gallery, not only does it educate, but as they leave, they let us know they will be back & they will bring people with them, and they do.”
History of the museum: Thanks to a generous grant, Peaceful Valley has opened The Donkey History Museum dedicated to chronicling the many contributions of donkeys in the World. Mark and Amy Meyers have contributed their substantial donkey memorabilia collection to the museum. Norbert Schiller has joined forces and contributed his substantial collection of international armed forces donkey-related photos to the museum to make the "War Room" the largest and arguably the most interesting of all of the Museum's galleries. No cost for admission, just off I-15 North of Las Vegas, Nevada.
