A Scottsdale Tradition: Hashknife Pony Express Riders Arrive!

Hashknife Pony Express Riders Arrive!

February 1st 2008 is when tradition comes back to Scottsdale, Arizona – a day when the West’s Most Western Town deserves to be called just that. Tomorrow is the day when the Hashknife Pony Express delivers the mail at the Scottsdale Post Office.

Yes, the Pony Express still exists and is the oldest officially sanctioned Pony Express holding the longest contract with the U.S. Postal Services.

But, before the mail gets dropped off tomorrow at 12:30, the Bronze Monument “Passing the Legacy” will be unveiled at 10:30 AM at the Canal in Downtown Scottsdale.

Lately, there has been a lot of coverage of mega events like the SuperBowl, Barret-Jackson and The FBR Open. I, however, am very partial to history, art and tradition as you can tell by my previous posts and the cowboy in the video was also speaking from my heart.

Here is a video I found on YouTube:

It’s good to see that there are some people carrying on with the traditions of the Old West!
