The Burro Derby will begin at 10:30am for registered participants. Starting at 11am, join us on the northeast side of Prospector Park for all things Parks & Rec and burros! There will be games, crafts, and activities for families to enjoy. There may even be a chance to mingle with some of the friendlier burros who participated in the race!
