Hi, everyone. I'm gauging interest right now in a SWPA pony meet this summer. I'm working on securing a small venue for one of the following dates: July 15, July 29, or August 12. This meet is not restricted to SWPA residents; all are welcome to attend. If you are interested in attending, please post here. I would love to meet with new and old friends this summer for pony fun!

*fist bump* I could probably swing it

[Duenia]

Do you know where the venue is yet? If I can find a way to physically get myself there I'd love to go.

Woooo!

Whether I am able to rent the venue or have it in my backyard, it will be in Mount Pleasant, PA. That's about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh.

Oooh  my son and I would probably like to come, depending on the date.

I'll have to look into transit options or see if anyone I know is planning to go

I am able to meet people in Greensburg and bring them down and back, but I can't go further than that.

So, looking at July 29 right now. The hall is booked for July 15.

Hmm according to Google Maps looks like I can't get to Greensburg either. I'll keep my fingers crossed someone near me is going and see if I can grab a ride lol.

Are you in the city proper or close to it? I know that FACT used to make a daily Pittsburgh run. I don't know if they still do or if they run on Saturdays.

I have access to Pittsburgh's public transit throughout the city. Never heard of FACT.

FACT is Fayette County's bus system, but I just checked their site. They don't run on Saturday, and neither does Westmoreland Transit. 

Incidentally, for anyone who has a Facebook account, I've created a group for updates and discussion. It's easier to have everything in one place.
