Minnesota Pony Meet 2012- HUGE success! Pictures added on p. 15

babystarz, I think I found the site you were talking about, it hasn't had any attention since 2008. I DID bump into something about a Midwestria meet, but don't have time right now to look for more info- pesky job.
I'm not sure if I made it sound like WI didn't need to be part of the site, I totally think they should. Where does "Midwest" end? Like on a map, is Missouri still Midwest?

sabathamk, hi! I think the date is set for the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, it seems to work out for most people- sorry to those it doesn't! But really, who needs family vacations? But I also think that when Babystarz gets the midwest site set up, it won't be too complicated to find other pony people or to make more region-central pony meets, which means northern MN could have a meet, and that would make it easier for you! For all of us!

I looked it up it is a pony meet in
St. Charles, IL
September 14-16, 2012
 
 
that is a littel too far for me MN is already 8 hr away

I'll have to check with my hubby to see if we can arrange our fall trip around then instead of later in the year.  It will depend a little on harvesting times and whatnot... when the corn needs to come off the fields... but I think it could be doable!  I'm very excited about this being possible!!!

lol ya I know how it is I work for a wholesale company that sells  seed inoculant and chemical. There is no way I can do anything from about april to end of june. I was lucky to go to the pony fair in FL as it so close. I hope you can make it Labor day weekend love to meet you. Do you know if there are any pony meets close to the border in Canada? I live in Minot ND so close to the boarder.

Frenzy, where in SD are you? 
Fingers crossed I have that w/e and holiday off.  Likely hubby would drop Charlie and I off and head for the nearest hobby store.  Men...

[Aurora]

rybett, how old is Charlie? (your son, right?) because the site is really close to the zoo, which is free to get into, so if they don't want to go shopping they can go zooing!

I love how many people are on here! What generations does everyone collect? I collect all of them, but right now I'm focusing on G4 because they are easiest to find. My favorite is G1, but I love the cartoon and the way the new ones have pulled so many people in.

How about you?

I think it depends on who you ask The Mason-Dixon line cuts through Missouri so it could be considered part of the midwest or the south. I suppose I'll have to look at what most people usually consider the "midwest" and go from there. We could always add more states later if collectors in those locations want to be included ^^

I am in Sioux Falls. For the next couple of weeks at least! 

[cloud_weaver]

Ah!  We normally take a trip to Soiux Falls once a year for Lifelight!  Love that music fest.  Come to think of it...it normally falls over labor day weekend...   

[nessa16]

I collect G1, G2, G3 and G4.

[rybett]

Sioux Falls as well.  Actually, Charlie is my  6.5 yo daughter.  Nickname for Charlotte.  She collects G3-4 with a few G1 thrown in.  I mostly customize 3.

[bubbles171]

I collect G1 ponies. I really love sea ponies, flutter ponies, and sitting ponies. All the differest ones. I do have a few hard to find ones that I could bring to the convention for people to see.

[Aurora]

Did you sell Ladybird, Bubbles?
Rybett, after I typed that, I realized it might be a nickname. I'd love to see some of your customs!
Nessa, good to know I'm not alone here in the "love them all" world!

There are lots of people in North Dakota! You can carpool!

[bubbles171]

No I did not sell her I almost did with the flood but then fema came and helped me and my work helpd with money for my repairs so I stoped selling. I  would like to upgrade her though and maybe sell her in the future. She is missing several plugs and has a hair cut. I did sell a few and I will be looking to get them back but I have expaned my collection now. I am in the process of getting greek candel with egg in the package yeah!! I never thought I would get her. I also bought sea mist in package and I have sand doller. I also bought brazil sitting bowtie. I also have 4 of the Venezuela ponies and they are on there way to me in the mail, but I think I might sell one or two. I really only wanted the blue one but the prices on the other ones droped so I bought them instead. Now I finally have blue cotton candy.

Are any of you good with digital pony art? As I said, I'm comfortable using Photoshop, but that's only with editing/colors/shapes/buttons. I'm no artist. Ok, I do make cool abstract things, but I can't draw figures like humans or ponies any better than your average third grader It would be great to have someone who could donate their time and talents to making a few pony graphics for the website Nothing too crazy, maybe 4 graphics maximum (unless you want to do more!)


If no one here is able, that's ok. I'll poke around the Pony Art forum. I just figured I should ask here first since I think people over there expect some form of compensation.
