So, ah, hello everyone! Remember me? It has sure been a while! *waves*
Are you a collector in the Toronto area (and beyond?)
Are you also a closet (or maybe out-of-the-closet!) model horse collector too?On
Saturday, December 5th, we're organizing another
Toronto Plastic Ponies Club Swap Meet & Activity Day, and I wanted to put a shout-out to the community to see if people here would be interested in attending too!
The Toronto Plastic Ponies Club has been working for the past year to create fun days and swap meets for collectors of all ages (and while the focus is primarily on model horses like Breyers, I've been known to work a MLP in to the curriculum once or twice!). It's a great opportunity to find meet local collectors and swap in Canadian $$ (which is a
really nice thing right now...)
For a loose agenda of things, the Swap Meet will happen in the morning between 10am-1pm (although tables may be left up longer if there's room) Tea & coffee will be served & we can put in for a pizza lunch around noon. There will also be a wonderful display & talk about Copperfox Models, a brand new manufacturer of collectible equines. And in the afternoon we'll be doing a cool holiday craft with real horseshoes:
(The big question is - will you give it as a gift, or keep it for yourself???)

Again, RSVP is a must if you're looking to participate in the Swap or Craft, but it's also fantastic to just let us know you're stopping by so we know how many people to prepare for.
