(Ankeny)-The Pony Express Ride that is traditionally held on Easter weekend for Camp Sunnyside near Ankeny has never before been canceled in 50-plus years.
It is being reined in this year by the coronavirus pandemic.
The annual ride typically involves some 300 riders on horseback coming from all corners of the state.
Marlene Scarlett of Maxwell, the organization’s secretary, says donations can still be made on their website. The first benefit ride for Easter Seals of Iowa was held in 1968 and has since raised nearly 11-million dollars for the charity. Located on 88 acres, Camp Sunnyside was designed, built and is staffed to meet the recreational needs of campers, both children and adults, with all types of disabilities.
