Minnesota Pony Meet- August 24th in Hines, MN! (Up North!) PM for location!

Like the June/park idea.  I'll bring the cookies.  Fakie toss?

[mngusty]

Fakie toss?!  I love it! 

[rybett]

Yup, that's about it down here.  Fakie toss sounded fun.  Into a basket or something.  Prizes, first pick on the fakies. 

[Aurora]

Oooh, Fakie Toss! That sounds awesome! Maybe we could attach two to a rope and see if we can hook them on a ladder toss thing!
Now I'm going to have to start holding onto fakies! Sigh, I was finally getting rid of some of them!

[Kazzellin]

Personally, I was hoping for something after the MLP Fair.

I'm up for either home or park; both sound fun. My only issue with park is that I'm massively allergic to poison ivy - as in, doctors think another encounter could kill me. So long as we know the park is ivy-free, I'm good, though.

Back to the timing, I was thinking August, but you have a good point with the bugs. Also, thinking on it, August tends to be massively humid, so that wouldn't be fun either....

[rybett]

Love the ladder idea.  Kazz, you bring the epi-pen, I'll bring the know-how and the CALM. 

[Aurora]

The first couple weekends in September are good for me, too- and usually the bugs are gone. The first weeks in October are usually lovely, and maybe that campfire will be more welcome!
Kazzy, good point about the fair. That means if we can't go to the big Fair, maybe someone can bring us Fair Swag to share/sell.

sounds cool.

I'm just gonna bump this a little..... *hipcheck* 

My brother is talking to his boss this weekend to see if he will be working at the park in Shakopee again. When he's for sure hired on, I'll push him to ask about the availability of the common room. Here's my thinking on this-

They get LOTS of business during the RenFest. LOTS. But they don't make much money in the Spring. We would have a better chance of having the place to ourselves if it was before Memorial Day, when they park starts getting busier.
I'm hoping to make it to the fair in Indiana, but if I don't, it would be nice to have someone pick up exclusives to sell to us at our meet. But that can't happen if the meet is in the spring.
We could have a mini-meet in the Fall, though- especially if we could find a way to set up a MN pony site, where we could all talk and arrange mini-meets and trades. Then we could have one in the fall, spring, and February, when it's bleak and cold and ponies make everything warmer.

There- those are my thoughts, cleverly disguised as a thread bump.

[mngusty]

I like it!  The more meets, the better!  I'm always looking to trade, buy & sell year round.  Is anyone interested in trading/buying/selling fim trading cards?  I've got a ton of dupes that I'm looking to trade for ones I need....just throwing that out there....

[himmie]

I will definitely try to make it to MN meets.

[scarlettkitty81]

Hopefully I can make it to this one! I had to work last year

MN Gusty...I live in St. Paul too!

I think it is so cool to meet other MN MLP collectors. Himmie is would be fun to meet you as well since you are not to far from MN

Super excited!

[mngusty]

scarlettkitty81 Hi there!  It's certainly fun to meet other MN ponies   What Gen do you collect?

[himmie]

I will probably be heading to MN soon for some more IKEA shopping...need more shelves for ponies!

[wizzer218]

I would totally love to host it...but I live wwayy North...in Hines MN close to Bemidji...lol...if anyone knows where that is..hehe....I had so much fun last year!....I am fairly sure I can go again!....the guess the ponies in the sacks was so much fun!.......Loved meeting all the MN pony peoples....count me in!

Oh yeah...the farther away from the pony fair in July the better for me because I need to save a little cash....after that!.....so September sounds good...love fall also!
