“Ponies in the Park” will be one of Ouray County’s signature events for the 2026 celebration of Colorado’s Sesquicentennial, our 150th anniversary of statehood.
Grants and pledges (not actual money) from local sponsors are needed now so that we can have the funds in hand by the summer of 2025 to initiate fabrication. Spread the word! Let’s all come together so Ridgway can celebrate Colorado’s Sesquicentennial. We need your contribution or it won’t happen. Don’t let the party bypass Ridgway!
We need to raise $50,000
by July 2025. We can accept donations beginning now.
You may also pledge any amount now and we will collect it in July 2025 if we will meet our goal.
