Is This The Last Pony Fair?:
In case you missed the announcement on Facebook, the 2022 Pony Fair in Tampa, FL will be the final large scale, multi-day Pony Fair event. Summer took over leadership of Pony Fair in 2010, and we've had a good run, but it is time to move on. We look forward to seeing all our pony friends again in June. :heart:

What About Pony Fair West?:
Pony Fair West (a single day event) has not yet been rescheduled. We are awaiting policy news from the state of California. The venue is currently not letting us rebook until restrictions are lifted. Once we are able to set a new date, info about Pony Fair West will be posted.

Yay!

Main hotel reserved, membership and tables will roll over from last year, and we may be hitting Disney on the way home! Now all I've to do is control my (thus far unofficial) ADHD and get things done in time! :D

Is anyone looking for a roommate? I'd be happy to help split the cost of a room! I'm a very neat, clean person with a TON of travel experience and I don't snore.

I wish I could room with someone but my snoring is horrible  :blush:

I'm planning to go, but I have some questions about ticket prices that are maybe a bit private in nature -- should I DM someone here with my questions or should I message the Facebook group?

Also, I know if I'm not vending I'm not allowed to sell ponies, of course, but I have a tote bag full of mostly common ponies I'd be interested in trading if anyone wants to trade, maybe for other common ponies. Is trading allowed?

Thanks! And I can't wait to see everyone there!

Is there a posted schedule? I want to book my return flight on Sunday and hopefully not miss the closing ceremonies.

I don't think we have the official schedule pinned down yet, but typically things usually wrap up between 5-6pm on Sunday.

I'm so sad :( Turns out I can't go after all after getting hit with four vet bills in two weeks and gas prices the way they are. After doing the math, I'd have to sell about $1K just to break even and I can't swing that risk at the moment. I freaking LOVE the Fair and am so sad I'm going to miss it. I hope you guys all have a wonderful time! Please share lots of photos so I can live vicariously!

How do you guys plan to pay for ponies you buy at the fair? The last time I went, everyone used the PayPal app. Is that still the preferred method of payment?

I'm bringing cash, but I'll also be leaving some money in the bank for Paypal use.
