The five-day 2009 Pony Express Days Festival was held Wednesday, June 3th, though Sunday, June 7th, in McKinleyville. The event, previously known as the Azalea Festival, included a parade on Saturday with lots of horses and equestrians, and flyovers by the Coast Guard, a vintage car cruise and show, music in the park, Clam Chowder, a Rummage Sale and Crafts Bazaar, and the Annual Firemen’s Muster on Thursday. Be sure to visit our Azalea Festival page from previous years.

The McKinleyville Press published a special edition before the event with stories about Pony Express Days, including an event schedule-- and lots of Festival photos will be in the following issue.
