Pony Talk > Pony Fairs!

2023 Midwest/Minnesota MLP Jubilee!

(1/6) > >>

Kazzellin:
Also known as the MN pony meet, but people from surrounding states are welcome, as well! :D

It's that time again! Planning is underway for this year's Jubilee. Once again, we're planning on Labor Day weekend!

Where: Smash Bridges home, in the Blaine, MN area! (Specific address given by PM the week of the meet.)

When: Saturday 9/02! Sunday 9/03 is also available to hang out, as there is an optional sleep over Saturday night!

Cost: None, but a food donation for the potluck is appreciated! See sign-up list below!

Activities: Coloring contest, custom contest, trivia and games (see below), presentations, raffle, buying/selling of ponies, and food (normally potluck)

Host pony: Moondancer! Bring your pony (and/or customs and nirvana variants!) for a group pony shoot!

More Details!

Coloring contest: Image will be provided, along with crayons/colored pencils/markers. All ages can participate; if there's enough people, we'll break it into age groups! Once you're done coloring your piece, add it to the wall for people to vote on their favorite before voting time is called! Do not have your name on the front of your colored piece, so voting can remain by coloring merit alone.

Custom contest: Celestial theme! Finished customs will be added to a table during the meet for attendees to vote on their favorite before a set time.

Trivia contest: Test your pony knowledge! Might also have questions about other 80's toy lines, though (ye be warned!).

Games:
The Dice Game! Ages 5+
 It's a staple for the MN meets, and is a fun event! Anyone who wants to participate brings a wrapped gift in the $5-10 range. Pony items are ideal, but not required. This can be items from pins to accessories, bait ponies, chocolates, plushies, and everything in between! No actual trash, please (don't be that person! It hasn't happened yet, and we'd rather it not). It's always fun seeing a big pile of wrapped presents in the middle of the table! :D

Game is done in three stages: 1) roll the three 6-sided dice into a pan. On doubles, grab a present from the pile. This goes until there are no more presents on the table. 2) Stealing! Roll the dice again; get doubles, you can steal a wrapped present from another player! This round is timed, and after this round is over, the presents are unwrapped and presented so others can see what you've gotten. This leads directly to round 3) Stealing rounf #2! Once again, roll the dice and you can steal a present from another player when you roll doubles! Only this time, you know what it is you're grabbing! This round is also timed, and once it's over, so is the game!

Basic rules: Wait your turn. No trash talking that won't be recognized as teasing (know your audience!). No shoving--we're all friend here. No grabbing a present without rolling doubles. Rolling triples also counts as rolling doubles. Try not to dawdle; this game usually is later in the day to allow for latecomers to arrive, and so people can scope out the table and see what they'd like to try for.

Bean bag toss: Exactly what it sounds like! For 2 players

Raffle: If you would like to donate an item to the raffle table, feel free to bring something you think another person would like to have! Raffle tickets are purchased by anyone who would like to attend, and the money normally goes to the host to help defray costs of hosting. Tickets are normally $1 each. Hang on to your half of the ticket, so you know what your numbers are. This is normally the last "official" even of the meet.

Presentations: I will be doing a presentation on how to rehair a pony, with nylon pony hair, embroidery floss, and yarn (not all at once, though that might be an interesting custom ;) ). Other presentations TBA! :D

Buy and Selling Ponies: Do you have ponies to sell? Are there ponies on your want list? You could do both at the meet! Alas, these meets are normally BYOT--Bring Your Own Table. We'll post more information as it becomes available!

Food:
Food is potluck! Please let us know what food item (or items) you would like to bring with to contribute when you let us know you're planning to attend! You can let us know here on the Arena, or via the MNMLP FB group/chat!

Hope to see you there! :awake:

MoondancerMilkyWay:
Hi Everypony!! I am your host, MoondancerMilkyWay (or, as known on Facebook, Smash Bridges)
I wanted to give you a quick update, as I'm very excited to be hosting for my first year!

I will have MLP movies/episodes playing, and am planning on having a projector/screen set up so we can watch outside when it gets dark as well!
I also will have a cotton candy machine, popcorn, and possibly ice cream in addition to the cake. it's like a carnival.

I can look into other food options (Costco FTW) as it gets closer and we get a more solid numbers guest count. :)

The house is one story, mostly open floor plan, and a half acre wide fully fenced in back yard.

I DO have a dog (Australian Shepherd mix. 35 pounds. very friendly. wants you to play ball.) who will be home/in attendance the whole meet.

working on some fun prizes for the games, and raffle items as well! (just need Basic Fun and Amazon to update their listings.... ;) )

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

oh! And perhaps most importantly, I am off Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday. We can Pony Party ALL WEEKEND LONG!*
*as long as people want to come. Anytime Saturday things want to start is fine. I'll be ready.

Kazzellin:
Do you want us to arrive during the day saturday, then? :)
