Set up will be 9-10am. Buy/sell/trade and games 10am-4pm. Lunch will be at 12:30pm. Tear-down will be 4-5pm.
We will possibly be going to a post-meet dinner at a TBD local restaurant.

Lunch right now is looking like we'll order a pizza from Alexander's (menu is here: http://alexanderspizzasubs.com/download/i/mark_dl/u/2012099/12093254/Menu.pdf). Please let me know if you have any dietary restrictions.

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

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

Potentially interested - July 30 is my birthday and I'm on the eastern side of the state :)

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.

Oh hey, I didn't even know this was a thing that was happening. I'm definitely interested!

Definitely interested! I live on the northern end of Allegheny County, but I have a car, and assuming no family responsibilities for that weekend, I'd love to go!

Would be great to have you! If you have a Facebook account and haven't already joined our group, that's where most of our planning is happening.
