After a lot of thought, we've made the difficult decision to cancel Donkey Days, originally scheduled for June 26-28, 2026, due to not receiving enough entries and interest to make this year's show what we hoped it would be.

This wasn't an easy call. We poured a lot of love into building this event, and we know how much work goes into getting ready to show — so to everyone who took the time to submit their entries, thank you. We're sorry for the disappointment this brings, and we hope you'll consider joining us for future events here at Non-Pareil Ranch.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, Mane 'n Tail and AMPS Pool Service, for putting their trust in us as we worked to get this show off the ground. Your support means more than you know, and we're grateful for partners who believe in what we're building here at the ranch.

If you submitted an entry and paid a fee, refunds will begin processing starting June 15th. Please allow a few business days for the refund to appear, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the meantime.

And to everyone who showed interest, stopped by our page, or was simply excited about the idea of Donkey Days — thank you. That excitement isn't lost on us, and it's part of what keeps us motivated to keep building here at the ranch.

We have other exciting events in the works, so be sure to sign up for our newsletter and check back here regularly for updates. We'd love to stay connected with you.

If you have any questions — including about entry fee refunds or anything else — please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

— The Non-Pareil Ranch Family
