On May 26\, 2012\, the New Mexico Centennial Pony Express ride will kick-off at 7\:30 am in front of the Western Heritage Museum Complex in Hobbs. The first leg of a 14 day ride begins when Lea County’s Express Master\, former State Senator Bill Lee\, hands mail to “Red” Harmon Hann the first rider in the Pony Express.
The mail\, which will be collected from locations throughout southeastern New Mexico will be carried by dozens of riders. The relay riders will travel over 365 miles\, visiting towns\, villages and scenic stops on route to Santa Fe.
On June 8\, 2012 the riders will end their journey as the mail is given to Santa Fe’s Express Master Chuck Franco\, New Mexico’s First Gentleman\, who will turn it over to a representative of the U.S. Post Office. The letters will then be sent via U.S. mail to the addressee. This unique event is the brainchild of “Red” Harmon Hann\, owner and operator of Pony Express West.
When? Saturday\, May 26\, 2012 through Friday\, June 8\, 2012 from 7am to 12am
Where? Western Heritage Museum Complex
