Minnesota Pony Meet- August 24th in Hines, MN! (Up North!) PM for location!

[Frenzy]

I had to miss the meet last year because of work too, scarlettkitty. Luckily with almost a year under my belt at this job, getting time off is way easier, so I am hoping to make it this year! 

I am loving all the talk about IKEA going on in this thread. You guys are my kinda people!

I hope I can make this year's meet - last year didn't work because of college. 

I'm open pretty much all summer except for Fourth of July and Memorial weekend, naturally. A park sounds like a really nice idea, provided it has a sheltered area in case the weather disagrees with us.

Hi I would love to go agian this year as well it was so much fun last year. I was hoping for one after teh MLP fair in july as well because I am going to that and my work has me working almost every weekend in the summer. Farmers schedule. I would love to have it as wizzers as it is only 5 hours away from me or next to the ren fest as I love to go there every year.  I am in ND and it is a long way to go unless I make it a weekend trip. fall sounds wonderful. I do have a few weekends in summer but not many and it would be ok if it was at wizzers. I love the idea a bbq or something we we could all bring something to share like a potluck with a list of things.

sounds fun!
i work send shift during the weekday and another job on the weekends. so i have to take time off either way.
anime detour is at the end of april. so if its that weekend i can't go.

[wizzer218]

OMG! REALLY!!! SWEET!.....I live on Sprucewood Lane....the road that crosses right before my house......is the watchtower road!...that is soo cool!....crazy i didn't think there would be any pony people that close!......so maybe a meet at my house is not too far fetched!=)

I like the idea of a meet near Brainerd! It's a little bit vacation, a little bit pony meet, and ALL GOOD! Mom actually sounded REALLY excited, I think she misses North.
And of course I remember you, Wizzer! You had the skirt!

[mngusty]

I would drive up north, it's only 2hours from my parents!  The north is so pretty, especially in the fall!

[rosierjay]

if we headed to hines my mom said we can use the house. depending on how many ponies we have.

can make a weekend of it.

[wizzer218]

I am game for anything  ....just let me know if u all want a meet this way....i have no problem with it...as long as we meet it will be fun no matter where it is:)

[rybett]

[himmie]

[rybett]

great for fishing and such. bemidji is only 1/2 hour away.
like i said my mom said we can use the house. upstairs has 3 bedrooms.... but the couch is nice too.
how many people usually come?
XP
it's a 6 hour drive for me.
if people want to drive to minneapolis we could carpool up there. split the cost of gas.
