Props & Ponies :: Bellingham’s Mustang-Mustang Show
3rd Saturday in August @ HFM
In 2010, Heritage Flight Museum teamed up with experienced car show organizers to put on the first all-Mustang show in the region, featuring 100 Ford Mustangs and the P-51 Mustang…. and it was a resounding success! Over 1000 people visited HFM on a beautiful, sunny day devoted entirely to horsepower and good-looks! 2011 was equally successful, with the addition of a local wine/beer/food showcase aptly named ‘Props, Ponies & Popping Corks’, held the evening prior to the show.
2012′s event is already in the works, and with Props & Ponies quickly becoming the most unique Mustang-owner show in the region to attend, you’re not going to want to miss out!
