Minnesota Pony Meet 2012- HUGE success! Pictures added on p. 15

My Dad had to go in for pacemaker surgery on Thursday. He's feeling much better! Yay! Now hopefully he'll stick to the doctor's advice this time (as not following it was what caused him to need the pacemaker in the first place).

This meant no state fair for friend and her mom Wednesday, as I wanted to make sure the car was here for taking him to the hospital early Thursday morning. So, friend's mom insisted going to the state fair yesterday and not go to the pony meet at all. So instead of going like I said we would, we missed it - again!

The state fair was fun though - we ran into a few bronies. (Did you know there's a monthly meet at MOA? I didn't! O_o) I won some frogs in the Midway, had some flavored cotton candy, and took many pictures of horsies in the stable (but most of them were facing the back of their stalls, so it's mostly pony butts. )

Almost made up for missing the meet - but not quite. ;P

Aurora, are you planning on the same place for next year? *head tilt*

Really? My hubby and I were at the MOA weekend of August 17th for the Renaissance Festival and we saw a bunch of bronies there as well was pretty cool to see, I don't usually see anyone around my hometown

Don't worry, Blondee! We'll do it again next year! And Balto, I agree!

Aw I was super bummed I couldn't make it but I'm glad to hear the meet went well!

Hey, all! I know it's taken me a long time, but I'm finally getting the pictures onto photobucket. I've also been thinking, and I don't spend enough time messing around on Facebook, but can we make a group of MN Pony People? I assume we can, since there are groups for everything else. That way we have somewhere that we can chat about dates, find each other, set up trades or sales, or even set up mini-meets throughout the state. I know I think it would be fun to meet a few Pony Peeps every few months- sort of a Southern MN Pony Meet, but on the tiny scale.

Any thoughts? Anyone willing to make such a crazy thing?

And here's the pictures! The link should be open to everyone, but here's a few that I really like.

I really wish we would have been able to travel that weekend... but man, super busy on the farm right now!  Hubby has been in a full half hour later than usual (or more... sigh).  Maybe next one... I so want to go south again for a few days!  A pony meet up would have been awesome!  Perhaps someday.  Glad everyone had a great time!  Love the pics!

i need to take pics of my haul and post it along with the few pics I took.

[Aurora]

Yes! More pictures!

I started looking for places to have this next year, and I've come up with a few options. Is anyone opposed to a tiny fee, if we have to rent somewhere? It will probably be about a $5 charge, though I'm still looking for somewhere free!
