Butterfield Days Parade - 40th Pony Express Anniv.

To celebrate the Pony Express’s 40th Anniversary, we’d love for you to join in the fun by decorating your float in a way that showcases the rich history of the U.S. Postal Service. Let your creativity shine as you highlight how mail traveled through Benson along the Butterfield Trail to the Overland Stagecoach.

Note:

Parade Rules and Guidelines:

Mounted riders under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult who is also in the parade. (Adult may be riding, walking, or following entry in a vehicle.)

For safety reasons, children under 10 years of age MUST be accompanied by a supervising adult during the parade.

No objects (including coupons, candy, etc.) may be released from a moving vehicle during the Parade. (These items may attract children into the pathway of moving vehicles and animals.) Walking participants may hand items to parade viewers on the side of the street. Please HAND them to parade viewers. Do not throw or toss on the ground.
