Chincoteague Island Scenes

 This Chincoteague pony gelding is named Lightning.  He swam the Assateague Channel as a foal in the 1988 Pony Penning.  He is now 27 years old, retired, and lives at the Rodeway Inn.

 The Chincoteague Fireman's Carnival will open Friday night.  The Chincoteague Pony 4-H Club has been working hard to clean up the grounds and the rides.

Island Creamery is now offering Strawberry Sundaes in waffle-cone bowls - Yum!

Chincoteague Island has a large duck population - please be sure to brake and stop for both large and small groups crossing any roads - this is Main Street.
