Summary
Lynn and Regina are back again with Part 2 of the Chincoteague Island Ponies episode. And just in case you were wondering, Misty and Stormy are still sitting on their desk a week later for this episode.
Lynn and Regina have had a ton of fun talking about these ponies. Last week, they discussed the two different islands, how the ponies got to the islands, and the auction that happens every spring where you can purchase your very own Misty or Stormy. They have even started a coin jar to start saving to buy their own ponies.
So this week they are going to talk about the story of Misty of Chincoteague as well as the family that raised her and the author of the book that purchased, wrote and made Misty famous. Let’s dive into Part 2.
