Pony Express

Exciting times in Holbrook! The Pony Express riders have picked up our mail and will begin transport to Scottsdale. Riding horses for a few miles each day, the Pony Express riders will be reenacting the Old West ways of delivering mail. We have decided to send our letters to our relatives as far away from Holbrook as possible. Take at look at where our mail is headed!
Various parts of Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Brasil, Korea, Canada, Texas, Alabama, Oregon, and Colorado!

In addition, we also had a visit by the Pony Express Riders and they reenacted how mail is transferred at each station.
