For those who follow this page—thank you! I started it a few years ago to share info about the Buena Vista Pack B***o Race.

Over time, Facebook has made posting here a challenge. In 2023, I was messaged that selling animals on FB isn’t allowed (not something we do here), but ever since, about 80% of my posts have been blocked or disappeared. Last year I couldn’t post at all.

This year, I was only able to post in short “windows.” Just before the race on August 10th, posting worked again. On race day and the days after, it looked like I was posting, but nothing ever showed up. Finally, today, an article went through.

I’m not sure what FB is up to, but I wanted to explain the irregular posting so you know it’s not me going quiet, it’s the platform.

Hugs to you all,
Brad M. Wann
Owner / Race Director

Official Rules – Buena Vista Pack B***o Race P**p Drop

The Pack B***o P**p Drop grid will initially be 20 feet wide, with each square measuring 2 feet by 2 feet, for a starting total of 300 squares. Additional squares may be added at any time at the sole discretion of Buena Vista Pack B***o Race LLC.

After the burros have taken off, an official assessment of the p**p on the grid will be conducted by the designated P**p Drop Judge. The square containing the most p**p within its boundaries will be declared the winner. If p**p lands within the designated grid area, the square it falls in will be identified and declared the winner.

In the event p**p falls across multiple squares and a clear winner cannot be determined, the p**p in question will be weighed to establish a winner. If the p**p falls in a square that was not purchased, the prize money will be distributed equally between Chaffee County Search and Rescue North and Buena Vista Pack B***o Race LLC.

In the event of inclement weather, a last-minute change to the starting area, or any unforeseen circumstance rendering the physical P**p Drop unfeasible, a winning square will be determined by a random drawing conducted by BC Race Timing, a third-party timing and results service.

If no p**p falls within any of the purchased squares, the total proceeds will be split equally between Chaffee County Search and Rescue North and Buena Vista Pack B***o Race LLC.

Prize money for the winning square will be up to $500. The payout structure is as follows:

If total proceeds are $1,500 or more, the winning square will receive a maximum of $500, with the remaining funds split equally between Chaffee County Search and Rescue North and Buena Vista Pack B***o Race LLC.

If proceeds are under $1,500, the winning square will receive 33% of the total collected, with the remaining 67% split equally between the two organizations listed above.

You do not need to be present to win. If the winning square was purchased by someone within the United States, a check will be mailed within 10 business days of the event. If the winning square was purchased by someone outside the United States, any associated transfer or delivery fees will be deducted from the winner’s prize amount (up to $500).

All decisions made by the Race Director are final and not subject to appeal.

Results will be posted publicly at the Buena Vista Pack B***o Race page.
