MN Hearths Warming Eve RL Meet up over
rosierjay:
Hey everyone! Planning is underway for the Hearths Warming meet! The meet date is January, still hammering out exact date.
The Hearts Warming meet is going to be our Holiday party!:awake:
So, what's going on?
Location: Starlight Event Center, Waseca, MN - Lynx room
Please bring 5$ to help pay for the rental of the space.
Time: 10-5 (set up around 9)
Date: Jan 12th 2019
Host: G3 Minty
Food:
Everyone will be in charge of their own food.
But there will be a small group that is ordering from the local Mexican restaurant. If you plan on doing this make sure you have enough cash to pay for your portion.
There will be desserts so please bring a small treat to share.
This decision was made via Facebook Messenger, if you have other comments questions or opinions please share them as I'm only relying what has been discussed there.... Since no one is discussing anything here...
Events:
Secret Santa Gift exchange- see second post for details to sign up.
Dice Game- Bring 2 generic gift for us all to fight over. about 2 to 5 dollar range.
Minty dress up contest- bring your g4 minty ( in any form mcPonies included) dress up with fun socks or holiday finery. Ponies will be judge by hidden ballot.
Kick it up a notch contest - since minty will be our host Pony for the event, it only makes sense for us humans to have a cute, crazy, or just plain silly sock contest. Wear your funnest socks and we will choose a winner of who has the best socks
Tree Decorations- Two teams get 2 rolls of toilet paper and random Christmas decorations to decorate a volunteer like a Christmas Tree. Winners gets bragging rights
Bean Bag Toss- For reals this time! May involve footballs or horseshoes (since I'm pretty sure we can't do an actual horseshoe toss).
Art contest- Make a drawing for the event! Winner chosed by popular vote.
Coloring contest- Color in a pre-made picture either before or at the event; division for kids and adults (cause we all like coloring). Winners chosen by popular vote. There will also be a picture to color just at the event. only crayons will be provided, so if you have a different medium you prefer to use. please be sure to bring it.

rosierjay:
If you sign up you are committing to buying a gift for the name and wishlist you receive. please stick to the wishlist. if for some reason you are unable to attend, but still signed up. we'll get info to you for mailing the box.
Sign up deadline: DEC 10th.
SECRET SANTA SWAP SIGN UP
You are are to spend 20$ on items from the wishlist you received. you can spend it on one items, or many items, but you need to spend a minimum of 20$ with a maximum of 25$ (don't want anyone to feel cheated) The items must be on the wishlist.
So please think about this when you are writing your wishlist. Mimic and baby dancing butterflies is not going to happen. Most people with an extra are probably not going to add one to a 20$ Secret Santa Swap. Make sure the items you add to the list are no more than 20$ retail. Even if you chose one larger item, please list several options for your partner or it will be no surprise and it ruins a lot of the fun. Be thorough when completing the list so your Secret Santa has lots of options. We don't all shop the same so keep that in mind.
Like with most swaps. if you have a question for the person you are buying for, message me and I will ask them and get the question back to you. Please remind me who you're buying for, in this case, so I don't have to dig through emails to find who you have.
Message me with the following information.
Title: Secret Santa
-Member Name:
-Email: in case we lose contact with you.
1. Do you prefer a few small items or one larger item?
2. favorite pony generation?
3. List a few of your favorite or questing ponies (remember out of budget ponies will be overlooked)
4. Do you like customs or other handmade pony items? if yes please list details.
5. Non pony fandom favorites?
6. Things you do not want to receive.
7. allergies
8. Candies or extra ideas.
9. other random details that will help your SS shop.
I will be keeping a name of everyone who is participating
Joining SS.

rosierjay:
How do people feel about non-pony prizes?
Or really any feedback at this point? >_<
Jocelyn:
You can count me and my boyfriend, Erick as a very strong maybe. He says he wil not drive down there if the weather conditions are bad, but we both have the 12th off, so if the roads aren't bad, we will be there.
Non pony prizes sound rather exciting! There are probably interests that enough people share for it to be fairly competitive - dolls, Pokemon, cute stickers, Disney, Japanese plush, cats, etc. I wouldn't really have any pony prizes because my collection is very unimpressive compared to most of your guys', I wouldn't have anything worthwhile to donate. But I can think of several Pokemon things I own that would be great...
Knowing Erick and I, we would probably jump on the Mexican restaurant group order. Getting food delivered/having everyone be responsible for their own food does make things simpler and easier to manage, so I think it's a good idea. The tree decoration event sounds rather hilarious, too!
scarlettkitty81:
Count me in too please. I also want to participate in secret santa. Hoping the weather cooperates.
