Title: MN MLP Jubilee 2022
Post by: Kazzellin on July 24, 2022, 06:03:31 PM
It’s that time of year again! :D

It’s time for the MN MLP Jubilee! :cheer:

Where: New Richland, MN: City hall!
When: Saturday, September 3, 7am to 9pm!
Cost: $5 per person
Host Pony: So Soft Ribbon!

Events planned thus far:
Pony selling and trading
Coloring contest
Customs contest
Dice game
Bean bag toss
Raffle ($1 per ticket)
Food (potluck style!)

Please comment below if you plan to attend! There are 25 banquet-style tables on site for those who want to sell, or to scow off their collections; selling is not required.

What’s also not required is being in costumes, but that’s not stopping us at all, right?? If enough people come in costume, we might hold an impromptu vote for the best one!

If you would like to participate in the dice game, please bring 2-3 wrapped items, ideally in the $5-10 range (note that you can go over this price range if you want; hasn’t stopped anyone before! :silly: ). Items do not need to be pony related. 😃

Participation in the potluck is not required to have food, but the more options, the merrier, right? 😃 Please list the food item you plan to bring with your intention to attend—we’ll add it to the list for who’s coming, so we have a quick reference for who’s bringing what! :pizza:

Also, you don’t need to be from MN to attend—IA, WI, and the Dakotas are welcome too! Hay, if you want to fly in from California, we’ll let you! :biggrin:

Please watch this space for updates! :party:

Coming:
Aurora +1/ 1 table / "Pot o' meat"
Wizzer218 +1 / 2 tables /
Marla +1/ 1 table /
Kazzellin / 2 tables / Breakfast cookies, Tortellini salad, cake/cupcakes (haven't chosen a flavor yet; might become sugar cookies instead :lol:)
Aimee / 1 table / veggies, dip, and fruit
PonyQueen +1 / 1 table /
Blackfrost +2

Maybe:

Goodness! That’s a bit of a drive, yes. I hope the move goes smoothly for your family! Hopefully, we’ll see you next year. 🙂

I'm coming with a plus one hubby...not sure on food that I would bring yet
Title: Re: MN MLP Jubilee 2022

I'll be there! Which is good, I suppose, since I have the key! I don't know yet how many other humans will be attached to me.
I'm also pretty sure Marla will be there with Ellery.

For me, personally, I don't know what food I will be bringing yet. I can do a pulled pork. I made a crock pot venison the other day that was amazing. I guess I can bring some meat! LOL! I'll probably also make a dessert and a side dish. It's easy for me to transport food, so I'll bring a few of the messier things. Leave the chips for people who have to drive all the way from Bemidji.

Address:
New Richland City Hall
203 Broadway Ave N, New Richland, MN 56072


I've requested the site from 7 am to 9 pm on September 3. I'll be there at 7, and if there are still people there at 9, I'll be there to shove you out and lock the door. I will have a few people (Lincoln, Foxfire, assorted nephews) to help bring stuff inside. There are two doors, the side door is the easiest for loading. We'll make it as easy as we can.  It will be easiest if you park near the door to load/unload, and then move your car to a different spot so others can load/unload. There is parking in the lot that surrounds the building and parking on the street.

Regarding tables, there are 25 banquet-sized tables at the site. If we somehow need more than that, we'll figure something out. For now, if you need a table, we shouldn't have any problem getting you one. Maybe mention if you need a table? I'll start a little tally here:
Tables:
Aurora: 1 Table
Wizzer: 2 Tables
Marla: 1 Table
Aimee: 1 Table, but if we need an extra she can bring one

Regarding food:
We have a full kitchen, with a stove, sink, and real life plates and silverware. We will need to wash these when we are done, so if someone is a dishwashing fool, have we got fun for you.  There is a fridge, and I checked the box that said we were not serving alcohol, so no kegs. There is a pop machine in the hallway, but sometimes it is disappointing.

Regarding the site:
There are restrooms at the site (with running water! yay!) and at least one entrance is handicap accessible.

Regarding the Raffle:
I plan to bring a couple fun things to raffle off. The plan right now is $1 per ticket, and that money goes to help pay for the site. If anyone wants to contribute an item to the raffle, that would be awesome. (Maybe part of your ticket proceeds can get donated to the site?)

Much of the chatter about this is being chatted on Facebook. If you want to join our facebook chat, let me know! Message me here, and we'll go from there.

Kazzy, what are breakfast cookies?
Cookies made with peanut butter, bananas, honey, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, raisins, quick oats, and chopped walnuts. Or i can take out the cinnamon and raisins and put in mini chocolate chips, instead. 😁

I'll have some big ponies out front (YAY! I get to use these!) and maybe a sign. I have an extra Pony Meet Sign in my hall, I might as well use it!

There are two doors- one at the front, one at the side. Both will be open and available, as long as the weather allows. If we have to close one, we can still prop it open for loading and unloading.

Hey- I know last time you had trouble charging your car. My nephew, who lives across the street from the meet, has an electric car, and you can definitely charge there if you need to. Bring a cord? This is for anyone, of course, but you are the ones I know for sure have electric needs.

I finally decided- the choice for the main raffle prize will be Munchy, Crumpet, or the Skyflier Porcelain.

I would feel wayyyy more offended that I wasn't notified that this thread existed if I didn't love yall so much rofl. I need to ask though, what exactly constitutes a "breakfast cookie?" I'm familiar with the breakfast sandwich but that's a new one for me.

When I win the megamillions, i am going to buy a hotel. Or a school. And our pony meets will be even more legendary.

About 12 hours to go! I really truly can't wait to see you all! And if you're not able to make it, I will miss you!
