Pony Fair 2019 - Tampa, FL July 27 & 28 - Official Updates & Announcements

[MoonStars]

Excited there's a 2019 fair....I have been going every year....so I hate to miss one...but still undecided if I feel like going to Florida again.

I will decide for you:  Of *course* you do! 😇

I *LOVE* that they have free shuttle services to/from the airport and the surrounding area.   We may have to make this one a short trip, so getting around without having to rent a car is a really nice option.   

If we do decided to stay longer, at least it's in a different part of Florida. We'll definitely visit some beaches. Even if that's not your thing, they have some nice beach front restaurants with pretty ocean views.   I'm checking out Trip Advisor and Groupon for other things to do. There seems to be a lot of different things to do and see.  The Sunken Gardens, Big Cat Rescue are a couple that caught my eye.

That's exactly what I've been doing. See what else is in the area! Trying to decide how many days I want to stay. ;D

I highly recommend the Weeki Wachee Springs live mermaids show. You need to get to the park early in the day because when they reach capacity, they won’t let anyone else in. It has an old-time tourist attraction charm that is beyond compare.

Tampa is a 5 hour drive from my parents place... if I do this as a combo home visit and fair visit.... maybe I can swing it!

We’re doing something unprecedented this year and flying instead of driving to the Fair! But for sure we will be there!

I booked a room! I plan on vending this year to cut down on my collection! I'm excited as I haven't been able to go for the past few years and love the idea of the shuttle and breakfast included in the low rate.

Hoping I can convince my family! I haven't been to one yet and I so desperately want to!

Oh man I still really want to go! I am going to have to sit down and see if I can swing it without using a CC. I don't like debt!
