Pony
Wagon Days is a non-profit organization 501(c)(4) established to remember and
celebrate the heritage of St Paris as the center for carriage manufacturing and home of the Walborn and Riker Company.
In the late 19th century, the Walborn and Riker Company was the most prominent
pony wagon manufacturer and their carriages were considered to be of the finest quality; a fact confirmed by their display
at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. To celebrate this heritage, the Pony Wagon Days Committee’s
goals are to encourage everyone, young and old, to become more actively involved volunteers in their community, through planning,
providing time and money, and participating in the positive, educational, fun community activities.
