A local Pony Express group raises funds every year for Camp Sunnyside in Des Moines. Jan Sieren, with the Pony Express tells KNIA KRLS News that collection canisters have been at selected convenience stores throughout the area, and this weekend, the riders will collect the money and deliver it to Camp Sunnyside. The riders will be in Knoxville and Melcher-Dallas on Friday, and that evening they will host a dance from 8 to 11 at The Fox in Knoxville, which is open to the public. Music will be provided by the band Unforgiven. Sieren says Saturday morning, the riders will gather at McDonald’s in Knoxville, then travel north to Monroe, where they will join other riders and then 200 to 300 horses will carry their riders to Camp Sunnyside to deliver collected funds.
