It's Roll Call Time. Everyone attending our meet please jump over to our message board and in the Everything Else section you will find our Roll Call Post. Please fill that out to be on our official Attendee List!
Thanks
It is that time again! Time to announce the 6th Annual Ohio Pony Meet.
Our 2012 Meet will be held on Saturday, July 28th.
Once again we have our Message Board (http://ohiomeet.myfreeforum.org/index.php)set up with all the details about the meet.
Our location is SW Ohio ( near Cincinnati) so very close to Kentucky and Indiana. Of course everyone farther alway is welcome to travel also :) We will not be posting the exact address on here but will pm that to our attendees closer to meet time. The zip code of the venue we will be using is 45056, for calculating driving times.
We use a public venue for our meet, not a private residence. And this year we have our biggest room yet!

-
I think I'll be there for this one. =)

We are planning lots of fun things for people to do, so we hope ponypeople can attend!

If you're gonig let me know! I think there are a couple other indy-area people and I'd be happy to carpool :) (I don't know if I myself could volunteer to drive yet, my current car is not the most roadworthy, but if I get a new one before July I'm fine qith driving)
-
Argh if only I lived in NKY still and didn't work on Saturdays. So wish I could go.
-
:lol: BUMPA! :lol:
-Andrea ;)
-
I'll be there!!!!!!!!!!
-
:bump:
-
PERFECT! I'll try to be there :D
-
Awesome - I just moved to KY this year. I gotta try to make this one!!! :biggrin:
-
That would be great both of you! Head on over to our forum and introduce yourselves. :) The link is in the very first post.
-
I would love to come some year...but these year I'm going to the Fair and GFeek Girl Con and spending a lot of $ to do both (and yours falls right in the middle)_
it's a great group of collectors though
-
My daughter and I plan on attending again this year! Can't wait.
(must remember to head to the Ohio Meet forum...)

-
We'll miss you Roogna, maybe see you at the next one.
Can't wait to see you and your daughter again halicabi!
-
Bump!
-
BUMPA!
-Andrea ;)
-
We are going back to the original venue this year, and will have a bigger space to use. ^_^
-
Would that be the one that's in the middle of no where? I like that one. :)
-
Yes middle of nowhere location. But before we were in the small room there. This year we have the big room. I think it is 3 times the size of the other room!
Hoping we have lots of attendees to fill all the tables! Everyone can bring as much as they want to sell. Table space will not be an issue this year. All you have to do is let us know how many tables you will need when we get closer to meet time.
-
oooh, middle of nowhere eh? So no one will hear you scream....
-
This sounds interesting, I may try to go.

No way I thought the other room was big! That's sounds super duper.
-
Yeah, I thought that room was big too. =) Someone needs to bring rainbow jello again, that was awesome! It tasted like Skittles.
-
I hope I can go... I'm still unsure if that will be my weekend to work....
-
Whoo! Tables! Full of stuff for me to buy! ..wait, why am I am cheering that?
-
:bump:
-
have this on my calender, will have to wait and see, but hoping we can come!
-
Big :bump: !
-
Added games and contests to the first post!
-
Yaaaay for games! I think I'll sign up for pony scenes this year...
-
I will be there with whatever I don't sell at the Florida Fair :)
-

Looks like it's going to be a blast, I really hope I don't have to work...
-
I want to play Pony Pursuit. It sounds awesomely fun!
-
I'm in.
I live right by the Dayton Mall, if anyone needs a ride, holla. Volvo's got room for three more.
Also, the photo contest, is that going to be prints, or is there going to be some sort of projector deal?
-
It will be prints, but it is up to you how you display it. I put mine in a frame, some just put theirs on an easle.
-
What fun! It's looking more and more like I'll be able to attend=) Not sure if I'll be able to participate in the scene set-up stuff or customs, but I'd love to play lots of games!
I'll be bringing plenty to sell. I'll bring anything handmade that doesn't sell at TrotCon as well as all my G1's.
Is anybody interested in non-pony stuff? I have some dinosaurs, care bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Wuzzles, Shimmers, and similar toys. I'll leave it at home if nobody is interested, but I can always bring it for those who are
-
Dinosaurs please! My son is a collector like me already at 4 and has to have every dinosaur he sees. I would love to surprise him with something from our meet.
-
Then boy do I have a gift for you, Sheena! How does a roaring T-Rex telephone sound? You can just let him play with it if you'd rather not hook it up. And you can just have this thing. My dad gave it to me because he thought I would like it; but, I've changed and am no longer the rabid collector that I used to be. Besides, we don't have a landline, so I have no use for it. I'd far rather see it go to someone who would like it than let it sit in my garage.
-
I might be interested in a few Care Bears or SSC items. Are they all toys, or merchandise? I'm more into the merchandise. If you have pics or a link to some that would be great! =)
-
That would be great thanks! He will love that. I just took some pics of his new Dino room....I will post one for you later when I get home. Then you can see what I am talking about.
-
I'll be bringing plenty to sell. I'll bring anything handmade that doesn't sell at TrotCon as well as all my G1's.
Are you bringing any of your pony cat toys?
-
StoryDreamer, Depends on if they all sell or not. Do you want me to set one aside for you? I can totally do a Luna!
Sheena, he has a dino room? Awesome! I'm so jealous;) All I have are Dinotopia paintings on nearly every wall of the house and hundreds of dinosaurs hiding in boxes in the garage. No good way to display any of it. Well, except for the Velociraptor skull on the bookcase, but that hardly counts as representing the collection. Sadly, the ponies are the same way. I can't wait to see those pictures!
-
Hey there! I think it might be a bit of a drive, but I'm hoping to come. I just need to decide what to do with my 8 month olds... ring them, or leave them wiyh someone. Once I have an answer to that question, I'll see if anyone else from Michigan wants to carpool. I've definately got stuff to sell, too. MOC G1s, MIB G3s, loose G1s, G3s, merchandise and bait. Also looking to buy!
-
It will be great to have you if you can make it RedLynx! If you haven't already, go to the first page and click on our link. There you'll be able to make an introduction and then check out the carpool section, and hopefully you can find a ride. :)
-

Possibly! Can you link me to the video or a picture of them again? I can't really recall how big they are. Our cats are so funny on cat nip. They ignore the brand new toys, let them sit and then pounce on them one day and just take a whole week of loving on them. Fickle cats!
-
I've registeted, just need to post an intro! My kiddos got grumpy and I had to run before I got to post.
-
The four of us are planning on crashing the party again this year....we seriously had sooo much fun last year! I encourage anyone who's nervous about cons to make this your first one. It's very small and not at all stressful, and everyone gets prizes!
-
my heart is breaking... D: I just realized I have a wedding to go to on this day.
-
Awww bummer! Weddings are beautiful though, I hope you have a great time there. Windsong and I are planning on having a meet in Northwest Ohio in March or April 2013 and we will keep you updated. Hopefully you can make that one.
-
I wish I could say that I was going, but not sure if I could get a ride again D =
-
I have the video of Misty playing with her Rainbow Dash! This here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEkCN8RqEm8&list=UU3Zkyl9fffwS6YfkerxGUoA&index=5&feature=plcp) The cat toy doesn't look nearly that good anymore. Oh, it's held up great to constant play; no rips, tears,or missing pieces, but the catnip has bled through at the feet and wings. Misty loves to chew the wings and they've turned a lovely shade of green. I might bring the old one to Trotcon to show how well it stands up to play.
I'd say the pony is about 3" long. The ones I'll be making this Saturday will be more G4 in appearance, but will be made with the same materials (flannel fabric, pillow case stuffing, feather hair, catnip). I'm probably going to price them around $5 each and plan on bringing about a dozen to TrotCon. After that, I'll be selling them both on my website and in my [url=thenewgraymare.etsy.com]Etsy store (http://www.newgraymare.com/store) =) And, of course, I'll bring any left overs to the Cinnci meet!
NoDivision, I"m sorry you can't come=( Hopefully you can make it to the spring one next year!
-
Sold! I'd love a Luna one. I can pick it up from you at the meet!
-
bump......Less than 1 month now!
-
I can't wait! It keeps on popping up in my dreams. Like a couple nights ago, I forgot to pick up my buddy Midnight Dream in this particular one...I was so upset with myself!
-
As far as I can tell, my hubby son and I will be there... I am off that day as long as things go as planned at work. This will be my first Pony meet woo hoo!!!
-
Yay! It's great to meet new ponies. :D
-
I wish I could go, but there's no way I could get a ride! T_T
-
Crap, I have to work...
-
Where are you located Firehooves?
-
* squeals*
LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AWAY!
YIPPPEEEEE!
Can't wait to see everypony!

XD No, don't forget me, lady! I would hate to have to walk.
Side note, are we allowed to bring stuff to sell that are not pony related? I really should know this after coming here for so long, but....I fail.
