Wanted by West Seattle church: Anyone have a donkey to loan?

Thanks to Diane for spotting this on the West Seattle-sorted CL listings that cycle through the WSB More page: A West Seattle church, looking for a donkey for Palm Sunday. We sent a note to the blind-box e-mail address to find out which church: It’s St. John the Baptist Episcopal, next to West Seattle High School – which in fact offered a well-attended “Blessing of the Animals” last October.

This is so sweet. I can just see the kids waving their palm fronds and petting the donkey. I think they had donkey rides at one of the West Seattle street fairs recently–not sure who organized this. And I know they’ve used goats (you could dress one up as a donkey!!!!) to cut the grass alongside the WS Bridge. Good luck finding one, and if you do, we would love to see photos of the kids on the blog.
