Paint the Pony Extravaganza

The summer’s first Paint the Pony Ice Cream Social was a celebration of all things summer! Yummy treats including a special huckleberry peach cobbler, brownies, and, of course, ice cream with all of the toppings helped refuel event-goers after an afternoon of pony rides. Scooby Doo, Blackhawk’s trusty white horse, provided a living canvas for the event’s signature activity…painting the pony! In honor of the Forth of July, Scooby was even decorated with an American flag amongst red, blue, yellow and green handprints. And because the event was so close to Independence Day, we couldn’t let the day end without lighting a few sparklers!

Our next Paint the Pony event will be held on August 8th at 1pm. We hope you can join us at the River Lodge for this special event! Please RSVP to Jil at @ (208) 630-4348.
