So are the vendors limited to MLP themed or do they offer other things as well?

It's MLP and other related vintage/retro dolls and toys can be sold at your table :)

So leaning more towards 80s nostalgia than say, Pokemon or Harry Potter or such then? (Sorry for the questions, I'm considering seeing if a friend is interested in having a table--she makes jewelry--but I don't know if her stuff fits the preferred swag.)

Yes to more 80's themed. I am sure there are many collectors that like Pokémon and others. But it should mainly be pony items at a table, but we do encourage vendors to bring other toy lines as well. No worries on the questions! It's good to ask. ☺️

I'll be there! Debating getting a table to sell some duplicates and maybe some art prints.

For sure a good idea to grab a table! Extra cash from selling your doubles makes it easier to spend more on other ponies there 🙃🙂! There's only 10 or 11 tables left, so best to make your decision soon before they're sold out.

from facebook Hi Pony Friends, Only one table is available in the vendor hall! If you are interested in selling ponies, please secure your table as soon as possible. There will be a wait list going up, as soon as the last one is sold. The waitlist does not guarantee you will get a table. Hotel room block has filled, but we are working with the hotel to get more block rates open for attendees! Special guests, and event exclusive figure and merchandise will be revealed in the next few weeks! We hope to see you this fall! 💜

Oh my goodness. Well, I'm seriously looking forward to seeing all of the artists who join the tables! It's making me wish I wasn't so hard on myself and had decided to join you all, but... well it might be for the best, first ever convention and all haha. Maybe next time! But boy I'm looking forward to that "next time" now haha.
:hope:
Good luck, all! I definitely hope to pick up some art while I'm there <3

We are working on getting another room block started with the final rooms available at the drury plaza location for $130
A night. Once these 16 rooms are taken the hotel block will be completely sold out.
We will potentially be looking into another room block at an adjacent hotel once the block is completely filled.
Once these are available, please do not wait to reserve your room if you wish to stay in the official PFF hotel.
Link will be updated shortly.

I'm debating going, but it might be too close to call. I hope everyone has a fun time and there will be another event the following year!

Happy Monday Pony Friends!
Additional tables for vendors have been added on ticket tailor!
Currently, we have a limit of one table per attendee - as we have a lot of interest in tables this year. If you need more than one, please email us directly ([email protected]) after you purchase your first table. We will let you know if there are any additional openings available closer to the event. 🙂
*hotel room block link is working - there are about 10 rooms available

Blue bonnet exclusive reveal !!

I’m super excited to be attending again this year! :) I really want to enter as many of the custom contest categories as I can! My biggest regret last year was not doing enough activities to get more raffle tickets LOL so I’m planning ahead this time! :lol: I have just a few questions on entry requirements If that’s okay!
Do we need to take pictures of the “before” baits we are using for our customs? Especially for the bait to beauty category I figure it is probably helpful to see how much the pony has been transformed!
Also should we refrain from sharing pics of our customs made for this contest on social media like Instagram until after the contest has ended?
Lastly, are fakie bases allowed at all?
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

Ohhhh Blue Bonnet is gorgeous!! :lovey: Will she be available to purchase online like the previous exclusives were? <3

Hey All, I am gutted that I have to cancel my trip. If anyone needs a vender table let PFF or me know.
Also my roomie might have have an open bed to cost share too. I was rooming with Glistening Rainlight on here and the tp.

I love that pony!!!! :)

I made a recording of the feminist panel, if anyone's interested! I know a couple of people had wanted to see it.
