Donkey Day in Bertram

Mayor Dickie Allen and Pawnee’s handler, 5-year-old Ella Schooler of Bertram, stand with the miniature donkey after he eats oats, predicting an early spring for the City of Bertram on Feb. 2. Ella tried hard to get Pawnee to drink from the water bucket, which would have meant a ‘bounteous rainfall in the next few months.’ Staff photo by Jared Fields
