We could meet at a county park or somewhere sort of out-of-the-way yet near the cities and everyone can set up their table or use their car as a table. I volunteer to build a fire and bring weenies! I'm still looking into parks that might work, or abandoned parking lots...You mean like a camp site? That could be fun! :D I do agree with the concerns though - What if it rains? I don't know if camp sites have buildings like the old GSC camp Greenwood and similar. :huh:
We can put up a "private party" sign to keep out people who might be pesky, or we can see if they want to buy ponies too- maybe we'll create some new collectors!
I would love to host the meet.....I am sure no one wants to drive up north here....but....you could all carpool...and I have a HUGE HUGE yard......we could set up tents outside and camp and have a campfire...I love sleeping outside!....I know it is usually in the cities, but I am fine either way..we could be as loud as we want here!.......Bubbles already knows me!, we came together last year along with Ice_Gypsy....Plus I am sure a few of you remember me,...hehe!....and yes Fall for sure for me, cuz of the fair in July....I will be broke if it is right after the 2013 fair...LOL..although I might be able to pick up fair loot....we shall see if they have more exclusive ponies available this year..they sold out in under an hour last year! :biggrin:where in hines do you live? we have a house up there! that is so cool!! it's off watchtower road. pm me!!
Good point. Other stuff in the region for hubby to do?great for fishing and such. bemidji is only 1/2 hour away.
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!
which city did we decide on?
Is the decision between Hines, Bemidji and Brainerd or only 2 of those destinations? I couldn't really sort it out reading the posts. Also, is this for a fall or summer meet?that's what i was asking. hines is 6 hours for me. brainerd is about 4, 3 if i drive fast.
if i'm correct. the houses are less than a mile apart.which city did we decide on?
You and Wizzer are both up there- in some way or another! It doesn't really matter to me which place hosts it, it sounds like both are beautiful and North, and have plenty of room for a meet. Is it ok if we let you and her talk it over and decide which one is hosting? Of course, if one of you has a pool with an adorable cabana boy, the decision is made.
Any thoughts, anyone?

we could have the meet at wizzer's and for people that want to stay the weekend, can crazy at my mom's. only have 3 bedrooms though. i'll take the couch. it's comfy.
I voted for the 24th but the 31st also works for me. The 17th is close to finals week for my summer term of school.
Kinda curious...where is Hines MN? Is it near the twin cities metro?
Still working on the "other site" for more organized planning... if someone else wants to set one up, I'm perfectly ok with that! I'm not exactly tech-savvy, and I don't seem to be able to focus for too long. I blame the baby... This baby is getting a lot of blame. Poor thing!
oh! yeah whizzer. i'm gonna be in hines with my family at the end of june. to the 4th of july.
if you're in town i'll love to get together for coffee or something. let me know
really! cool,oh! yeah whizzer. i'm gonna be in hines with my family at the end of june. to the 4th of july.
if you're in town i'll love to get together for coffee or something. let me know
I live in Bemidji :D so we 3 could hang out sometime then maybe... but wizzer cant have coffee (which is sad for her) but luckily coffee places have other beverages that are coffee-free
<.< books yew say? I have a crapload of books XDparticularly your prydain chronicles series.
I've got some pokemon still... and a couple cabbage patch dolls, and some barbie stuff... as well as beanie babies, a few ponies, and some customs... I also have some of the original LPS stuff... and somewhere I have the vintage polly pocket too... if anyone is interested in any of that
Domingo, yup, it's at Wizzer's house. And I totally think you should make the trip from Venezuela! LOL! We haven't sent out directions yet, but if you send him to this thread, he can read through everything... it might take a while, but it's a fun read!
As we get closer to the date, we'll be sure everyone gets directions. I think it would be best to PM them, so Wizzer's information isn't just floating out there for everyone to see. But we'll worry about that later.
Great! :) EG or the Masquerade brushable?
I'm planning on coming tooo :3, my only problem is that it's on a Saturday... and I work at the Devils lake Speedway on Saturdays as a lap counter, I'll have to double check the schedule and make sure that the track owner will have enough people to cover it

Are you another ND pony too? It's so awesome to know there are more pony lovers in ND!
I have a seriously difficult time ever parting with Big Brothers, or their accessories. :lol:<.< yeah I know how that is... I have all the big brothers, but I'm lacking on their accessories... I have 4-speeds hat, and slugger's hat, but that's it >_<
avene1984 sorry you can't make it :( Yes, we will take pictures and post them on the Arena after the meet! I was looking for my photos from last year, but I can't find them at the moment.
Last year someone had made a bunch of beautiful G4 customs turning them into popular G1's. I'm sorry I can't remember who that was, but if it was you and you're coming this year, please PM me so I can inquire about them! Thanks :)
I have a seriously difficult time ever parting with Big Brothers, or their accessories. :lol:
if anyone has baity G1 ponies... Especially Seashell or Bubbles, please let me know, I am actively searching for baity ones in that pose. I have a Near mint Bubbles that I'd be willing to trade for one of them :3

Here are a few photos so far for what I have for sale. I have only done the G1s so far. I have a lot that are $1, $3, & $5 and then some that are more. I still need to take pictures of everything else. If you see something you want me to hold, let me know. I may try to sell some on Craigslist or EBay before the meet to make some spending $$!

Rosierjay, the surprises are not minty, not completely baity. I was asking $3 each. I think custom/commission would be an excellent prize!!cool. i'll see if i can make a custom or just have a commission as a prize, maybe both.
if anyone has baity G1 ponies... Especially Seashell or Bubbles, please let me know, I am actively searching for baity ones in that pose. I have a Near mint Bubbles that I'd be willing to trade for one of them :3
I believe I have at least a baity Seashell.
Wizzer-How much are your customs again?
I am going to be looking for a few of the last G1s on my list of more common ones. I would love to find a Steamer with pink hair and some HTF items. I am starting to get a fairly narrow USA G1 list now.
also looking for a nice condition adult surprise.
one of my friends is only collecting ponies that have a baby and a momma. and she has one of the ponies i'm questing (no momma) so if i find one on her list she'll trade with me!
woot! *happy dance*
i'm bankin on the meet up to find something.
added-
how do yall feel about deflocked ponies?
No need to PM me if you have prizes- then it gets to be a surprise for me, too! Usually we play some games, and then we find a way to divvy up the prizes at the end- drawing names, or maybe bingo... I've been meaning to find/make a copy of pony bingo for years now! LOL! Maybe the WI people would be willing to lend us theirs- I'll PM them and see. So the prizes will all find good homes.
If you have a custom that you'd like to donate, that would be awesome, usually I see people put a little card/certificate for a custom of your choice. Whatever you feel right about donating.
And if the prize table ends up a little empty, I usually have a certificate in there for $5 worth of my ponies. You can also just say "Hey, guys, anyone who wants a G3 off my table can use them as a prize." It's not the most structured thing, but it works really well.
Is there any interest in the following items? I am thinking of thinning out my G4 collection as it is getting overwhelming.
Talking White Princess Celestia
Talking Princess Cadence
Funko Rainbow Dash Vinyl
Various BB's from different waves except wave 2
Also, I have some Strawberry Shortcake dolls and the Bake Shop Playset.
Wizzer: Do you have a TAF Sugarberry G4 Custom? I am thinking of adding to my "army" of her. I only need a G4 and G2 version now.
I may also have a Mimic and TAF Baby Sugarberry for sale. I need to do some PC's especially on Mimic as she has "Lauryn" written in marker on her side. I don't know if anyone saw her on facebook but that's the one I will be selling.
Edit: Also, any interest in MH?
is there an RSVP for this?
That just takes me to my events page...?ok i added you :D it must be on the wrong setting for the event instead of available for everyone it is friends invite only or something lol but i think wizzer can change the setting on it
I do have Facebook, though I generally avoid using it. But if anyone wants to add me, just look up Sarah Himmie. :)

We don't need a place to sleep. We're driving up from my parents on Saturday morning and will go back there after the meet is done!
I'm thinking about making a huge batch of homemade chex mix for munching. I'm also thinking about bringing fruit like bananas & grapes.
What time are we saying the meet is starting at, or arrival time?
I just need to know how early is okay :P
I'm only a two hour drive away, and I don't drink at all, so I'll be heading home that evening :3
awesome :3 well I don't think we'd be heading over there until at least 8, so probably 10am is when we'd be there :3
I've been stalking for the last week or so- sorry I haven't made any comments. I'm actually just commenting now so I don't lose this thread!could we put the details for this part on the first page?
We're still planning on the $15 package, right? Would $10 be a little more friendly? That would be about the right price for a pony, some candy, and maybe a pair of socks...

and i know there are non-pony people coming. do we want to make sure we have non-pony things too, or are only pony people participating. *mouth full wow*
I've got your address, and yes you also sent it to me on here Wizz. :) I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty darned excited!
I have some non-MLP items that I can bring if anyone might be interested...
- Vintage Care Bears [plush]
- Magic Nursery Pets
- Popples
- Furskins Bears
I may be interested in the Care Bears depending on which ones and the Magic Nursery Pets.
I may be interested in the Care Bears depending on which ones and the Magic Nursery Pets.
I will get a list of the Care Bears some time this week. I have to make sure that I do not part with any that belong to my mother. :lol: I believe we have the lion, lamb, bunny, raccoon, elephant too.Magic Nursery Pets
I'm super excited, and not at all ready! I still haven't gone through all my sales stuff!!! Yikes!
I don't think I'm going to do the $10 swap after all, it's just one more thing I don't have time for. Hopefully that's ok w/everyone ( I don't think everyone was participating, right?)
Is anyone interested in vintage LPS? I have some I can bring if there is interest.
still gotta figure what to bring food wise.
do have a list?
it would be nice to bring something we don't have coming already.
I am saddened to report that I will be unable to attend after all. :( The gas money just isn't in the budget. I'm not even going up to the cabin! :cry:aw!!! sorry! hopefully next year.
Hopefully next year...
hi any one coming to the meet close to a toys r us? I was going to get some stuff for a friend and a lot I can get online but not everything.i currently live in between 4 tru, 18 walmart and 12 targets. so i can check or at least call places for things before the meet.
My mom and I are coming again!
Wizzer, what kind of set up are we going to have? Should we bring tables? Are we going to be outside in a garage or in the grass or dirt? Is there a lot of space to spread out? Just trying to figure out what I all need to bring.i know i have at least 3 card tables at the house i can bring if needed.
All of my sales stuff is now ready, and I've got a lot!
Are people bringing change for buying? I'm trying to figure out how many 1's I need to get from the bank to make change. If everyone is buying at the different booths with larger bills, we may run out of change. Also, I've got a few different boxes of $.10 & $.25 items, so I'll bring some coins too. Hopefully everyone can bring an assortment of currency so we don't all run out! Just a thought :)0.0! oh man forgot about that.

got a few blindbags i'm not going to debag either.
question, i have a few g4 ponies that have been signed by the artist and writer of the mlp comic that's on sale now. is anyone interested in those, or is it a waste to bring them?
I think I am going to bring my truck...that way I can use bed space. :)my crown vic has lots of room, but um... only on the inside.

Set up in the boot! They have a big one of those. :)
*waves arms*
Thank you to everyone who came and sold me awesome stuff- I'm busy figuring out where it all came from now! LOL! For example, who sold me the 5-pack with Nightmare Moon, the Manticore and Steven the Serpent? I know I should remember what your name tag said, and I totally remember what you looked like, but for the life of me I can't remember your name!
Ya! More pictures :) Looks like everyone had a great time. What did you all come home with?

I will have to take pix of my stuff out on display and list the stuff I already put away.
aww nobody ate any of the poor cheif pony cake HEHE well until later i had some and he was delicious hehe
I'm going to try and plan a North Dakota Pony meet for next year possibly. Over the winter I'll be looking at places I can rent and see how much it's going to run, I think I can rent a couple places around here pretty cheap and they're rather large too, so there would be ample room for everyone.
I'll just have to see where life takes me and hopefully it will work out!
Let's do a boy next year!.....there are so many good ones:)
totally!! i love the mountain boys, but tex and sluggar will always be my favorites.Let's do a boy next year!.....there are so many good ones:)
I concur with this. Obviously.
Big Brothers, Baby Brothers, Mountain Boys, Dads, Tux, Clipper, Lucky...all good. I will bring 100! ;)i do love paws too!! PUPPY!
Probably Grand Forks or East Grand Forks, Thompson was also discussed
yup, I was thinking about the VFW in east grand forks, I think I can rent that for like $50
and free would be even more awesome >.>yup, I was thinking about the VFW in east grand forks, I think I can rent that for like $50
We could do it at the Community Center in Thompson. Since my mom works there we could probably get it for free and there is plenty of space, would have it to ourselves, a kitchen and bathrooms.
