Planning for annual Chincoteague Pony Swim, hoping for in-person event
February 10, 2021
The event is usually held in July and draws thousands of people to the island.
Last year, their pony auction was held virtually.
And because of COVID-19 restrictions still in place, planning is still up in the air for this summer.
However, the Chincoteague Volunteer Department is hoping that things will be able to happen in person.
“We want this event to happen, we want it for all the pony fans out there, for all the fire company fans out there, we want it for our businesses here, and to just get back to some sense of normality,” Denise Bowden, with the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department, said.
