Stalking.. pony fair location!

[Bow Tie]

I am dying to know where it's going to be as well! I live 10 minutes from the Pheasant run in St. Charles IL, that location would be fantastic! I just have a feeling people wouldn't find it very exciting compared to all the other big hotels we've stayed at in past events. But if it's withing 6 hours drive time of Chicago I'll go. Otherwise I'm going to be selling everything online. I just can't afford to drive across country again:( If it is too far, I may have to look into just flying and doing a booth of my artwork instead;) I wouldn't miss the fair either way, it's just too much fun:D

Chicago is pretty darn pricey, though - both in terms of venue cost and cost to travel and stay there. I think somewhere in suburbia would be a possiblity, but I think it would be pretty hard to have it right in the city. (Not that I don't secretly long for that, Chicago is one of the palces I go most often and I'd love it to be there, but logistically it would be difficult.)

I suggested Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL. It's about an hour out of Chicago and the price is great! Midwestria is held there as well as another con called Kollision. It's very spacious and has a New Orleans feel to it! I love the resort so much. <3 Or they could be at the Hyatt O'Hare or the Stephens Convention Center which are both next to O'Hare Airport. I don't like the city of Chicago so I'll take it being in the suburbs over the city itself. I only go to the city for the museums, my uncle's boat, my family grocery stores and the Christkindlmarket.

St. Charles would be PERFECT. Right in my domain. *crosses fingers for Illinois*

St. Charles is VERY close to me as I live in Wheaton, IL. Bow Tie and Sandra, where are you at?

I am in Arlington Heights!

Wow! Bow Tie, you're super close!

Sparkleset, I am in Schaumburg.

Rad! I work in Schaumburg at Woodfield Mall!

I work at Woodfield Mall too! I work in one of the children's clothing stores.

That is way too awesome! I work at Macy's in the Coats section on the second floor!

I live in Bartlett! My Hubby's family is in Hanover Park and he works for Victoria's Secret in Woodfield, There are TONS of collectors in our area:D There's a Brony group that meets at the Colonial Cafe the first weekend of every month in South Elgin by ECC. They were the ones that run Midwestria but I was out of town when the event was held so I dunno how it went, but no wonder I can never find ponies lol.

That is so cool! I used to be apart of the Midwest Brony Division, but I haven't had that great of experience with bronies in general so I left that group. I was one of the people who started Midwestria. It went very well actually! I had so much fun and I loved the writers that we had! They had a lot of fun and I know many other people who work on the show are very much so interested in the con, as I have become friends with quite a few people who work on the show, so crossing my fingers that we can get them! I am really pushing for stuff on G1-3.5. If we got guests from those generations I would die happy! <3

Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that the contracts have been finalized with the venue and we are all set for 2013. We are just waiting for Hasbro legal to approve our announcement statement and then we can release it publicly. It usually takes their legal department a few day to approve things so it should be ready any day now.

I can't wait to share the news with everyone!

Just a little longer. Hang in there!
