THANK YOU to the 11 donors who gave $935 yesterday to support the continuance of the Donkey Creek Festival. With the incentive pool we should be up over $1,000. This will allow us to hire a few local musicians for next year's event.

Our vibe the night before begins. Just over five hours until the fundraising begins. We'd love to have all of you live music night owls give right away after midnight. Maybe we will win a prize!

Did you know that over half of the acts at this year's Donkey Creek Music & Arts Festival are from right here in Gillette and Campbell County? The others are from Wyoming or have Wyoming roots. Our goal each year is to make sure local talent, like the Big Horn Big Band pictured below, have a chance to share their music with the community. You can help local musicians showcase their talent by supporting Donkey Creek during this Wednesday, July 15th. Just click this link and donate between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. https://www.wyogives.org/organizations/donkey-creek-festival
