Texas Pony Fair???

[Sweet_Stuff]

We need a pony fair in the Lone Star State!!

Just sayin' 

How does one get started...? I'd love to participate.. or even help start one, but my resources alone are kinda limited... I just think it would be great, plus there are lots of fantastic locations for hosting here in the state!. Thoughts? Where are my TX peeps at?!

usually you start out with a pony meet, and then it grows.   The big US Pony Fair is run by a staff who pick the location, raise funds, pay for the hall/meeting rooms... it costs a TON!  A Pony meet can be done anywhere, though; they are usually one day things at someones house or a park, but some are held in event halls. The local one here was at a room rented through Holiday Inn, one of their meeting rooms.

Yeah, I guess I meant Meet and not a Fair 
There's gotta be more Texans like me who are interested in doing something..

I would love a Fair here hahah! xD

I agree we 10000% though! We need more pony stuff here, especially considering how many people collect here and how many stores sell ponies! We have a few pony conventions, but meeeh I want something besides G4! I would love to meet people sooooo bad!

Yesss..  one of my TX pony friends (summerday) on here would be on board. Another one who lives like an hour away from me is the admin over a FB group called MLP TX fans or something like that... The group is not very active though, sadly..
She has a family and a business selling toys so I'm sure that takes up much of her time..

I'm sure is an interest, there's just no one talking about it..?? -sigh- We need to get one started!  Do you have any other TX friends who would be interested? I know of possibly three other girls.. I'm gonna mention it to Natalie again and I'll follow up with you.

You might have better luck drumming up interest in a Texas meet if you ask a mod to move this topic to the main Corral where more people will see it. Since the Pony Fairs sub-forum is for discussions about the official MLP Fair(s), things are pretty slow and quiet in here right now... minus the finger-drumming and foot-tapping.

Good idea!

Any mods available to move this, please? Thanks!

Oh nice!
Austin would be a great location to hold a pony meet. Texas has a lot of great cities to host. 

Let's do it! I'm excited! 
Do you have contacts from the BFF who could possibly help start a TX Pony Meet?

[Melodia]

Heya, unfortuantely I don't have any contacts from bff. There is another convention in Dallas called "Nightmare Nights" that is still running next year. I would post the link but I dunno if i'm allowed to.
I haven't been to it but it looks neat. 
Texas has alot of good cities for a pony meet I would not mind traveling to any of them. ^_^

Do you mind if I contact you via Facebook?
