Volunteers from the Pony Express Riders of Iowa will be at the Pleasantville Y, the intersection of Highway 5 and 92, today.

They are collecting money to benefit Camp Sunnyside in Des Moines and fundraising for their annual horse raffle at the state fair. The Pony Express Riders of Iowa are a network of volunteer “Riders” who host fundraisers throughout the year. Those who do not want to win a horse can still donate and participate in the raffle, as a $950 Visa Gift Card is another prize option. The horse can be found in the Avenue of the Breeds during the Iowa State Fair, which runs from August 9th through the 19th.
