MLP Fair 2007 Memorabilia

[Vixenfur]

Hi, every pony 

I was digging through my basement trying to find something (I did not find it  ), but in the process discovered some things I had no clue that I still owned. I did at one point find a handful of MLP buttons and pins from the 2008 and 2009 fair respectively, but I gave some of them away (along with some fair memorabilia) to people who adopted my customs from me. I feel like I should have photographed them before doing that in hindsight, so just to ensure I don't make the same mistake again, I wanted to make this post to archive the 2007 fair content that I have!

As a historian, I'm particularly obsessed with archiving things, and in particular fandom content. Fandom means a lot to me and preserving its history is something a lot of people don't think about—fandom is a hobby, something fun to do in your free time. A lot of people move onto different fandoms and leave old ones behind, in the process getting rid of a lot of fandom history thoughtlessly. It's inevitable, but whatever we can save I like to document as much as I can.

Here is what I have!

Included in the image is Sevenbelles, one custom creator, and the name tags of two of the customs she made that my family purchased for me (I was spoiled, clearly  ) Jewel and Harmony have since been rehomed and I wish that I had found these sooner so I could have sent them off together. Ah well...

I will only do closeups and a flip through of the program. The badge has my name on it and I'm going to wear it to Whinny City Pony Con next weekend for fun with the Applejack badge

Here is the pamphlet:

I hope you enjoy looking back on this even if you still have your own copy! If you were at the fair, I'd like to know too. I was only 9 years old when I went and I have always been very meticulous about keeping things that are important to me in good shape, but I know that in this case, it's thanks to my grandma that everything is in such good condition! She saves a lot for me!

That custompony.com artwork looks very much like something I see a customizer on Instagram create. So fun to see a bit of history, thanks so much for sharing!

Amazing photos, thanks so much for sharing!! <3
Everything is so cute, and the program is so well put together!

Still holding out hope to someday, somehow, some way, attend a pony fair.

This makes me wonder how many of my old ponycon pamphlets from here in the UK I have. I don't have many pins and things, as I don't usually go in for the gift bags and stuff. But I did have pamphlets and possibly, name badges and stuff. I did have on of those wih Taffeta on it once upon a time...

Great stuff, lovely to see. As a fellow historian, you're right - documenting stuff is very important!

So fun to see! The artwork is lovely.

Ahhh this is so cool, I love seeing stuff like this!! That Teera art on the front cover is so gorgeous too <3 Thanks for sharing, it's wonderful to see someone else interested in preserving fandom history.

Would love to see anything you do have I should have programmes from all of the PonyCons I attended, not sure where half of them are though; think some of them got put into storage.

Definitely share if you come across anything!  UK ponycon sounds fun! I lived in York this past year for my MA and fell in love. I must go back, and knowing that there are pony events there too tempts me further

Yes!! I hope you can make it someday! I wish to go back, myself. I have not been since 2009.

Aww how neat! I've never been able to attend a fair so it's cool to see this stuff. Thanks for sharing!
