Can we vote for more than one weekend? I favor August 22nd, but others could work too.
I also have an idea for the craft contest we did last year with Tex-themed projects, but I need to know who are Pony of the Year is first... Silver Glade, do you have any thoughts? It's your party, after all!
Hey MN/ND pony peeps! I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm always up for a pony meet in MN :) Bloomington would be great! Applejack sounds good to me for a host pony too! I'll check with dates and then vote on one.
Nessa! We missed you last year! You sure do have one packed schedule, I'm really hoping you can make it this year, it would be great to catch up!
if we do applejack. would an applejack plush i made work?I don't see why not. :)

Something closer to Shakopee would be awesome so that I can be there. I was bummed when I couldn't make it last time due to the distance. The problem is I can't think of any place to host a pony get together. My apartment complex I moved into has a better party room with kitchen and bathroom, but the problem would be size and only a few tables available. I hope we can come up with something awesome.

Also if we are still putting in votes for dates I think the 5th of September it seems like the best weekend. I plan to be at Furry Migration too so I do want to miss that.
I've never been to one of these shindigs, so I'm pretty eager, though also somewhat anxious. Bit of a shy gal, but y'all make it sound pretty fun!
Only 4 hours away from me! :D I'm all over this one! Just let me know when and I'll make it!
I'll be traveling to japan shortly before the meet up.Hee - the only item I'd be interested in (at the moment) is Slime plushies, from the Dragon Warrior games. :silly: Thanks for the offer, though. :)
not sure if anyone would be interested in goods etc from there.
don't think most of the pony people were interested in dolls etc last time.
Anyone looking for G1 Accessories? I have a bunch I'm bringing, plus ponies from all gens, some random items, and a bunch of pony items. Looking for anything specific let me know and I can look.
I'll be at the MLP-MSP con on Sunday as an art panelist...The what? O_o *Googles*

Yep- working on a list of what I need from PE, and I'm always looking for baby pony stuff! Maybe not so much bibs, bottles and cribs, but like twin stuff. ^.^ And duckies. And first tooth toys/accessories.
I'm also excited to see the special MN Meet merch- whee!
Are we planning to do the game with the dice and the fast-action stealing? And are we planning on a prize table or not? I just want to be ready for what we need.
is anyone interested in custom pony plushes?
and if yes, what characters would be cool to see?
probably only have time to make a few before the meet.
My life has been absolutely chaotic the last couple months. Have I missed anything? I still plan on attending this year. I had so much fun last year I can't wait to go again.
Katie
Do we have start/end times?
I am planning to be there, and might have a guest with me.
I can do something with apples- maybe an "Apple Food" contest, so if someone makes an apple salad or apple main dish, it isn't excluded. Too bad our apple trees aren't bigger, I could bring home-grown apples! I'm still leaning towards buttermints, too. Mmmm, buttermint. Why isn't there a pony named Buttermint?
I'm considering selling some of my brushes and combs. I have a lot, but I don't really do anything with them. Anyone looking for combs/brushes? I'd rather bring them to the meet than try and sell them on ebay- lots of fussy details, better in real life.
Hmmm, coming back to this...is anyone else in the southern part of MN? Because I'd really like to attend an event like this that isn't just for people in the cities. (4+ hours away from me)
I was thinking perhaps I could start an event in a sort of "middle" ground? Like maybe Owatonna?
I'm not sure. :what:
Hi, Sapphire! I live down by Waseca, and the first MN Pony Meet was in New Richland, but since it was the first meet, and before G4 came out, there have been a lot more people progressively every year. 2 years ago the meet was Up North, at Wizzer's house, so it does move around the state. It's just that most people live in the big city, so it makes sense to have the meet there- especially since we have people willing to use their houses! YAY! (Thank you!)
Where are you? I would love to carpool. Kalavista came up from Iowa last year. We also have people from North Dakota, so the cities is a nice middle ground, though it will move again, I'm sure.
No? I said Freeborn. :0
I would say maybe starting later, but that is just personal preference.Do we have start/end times?
Last year we started at 11am. Did that time work for you guys? Or would a later time be preferred? It's all good to me. If anyone's hanging around by nightfall, I'll get the fire pit going on the lower patio! ^.^
One month to go!! :frolic:

HA HA that would be amazing...like, just getting those gift bags + leaving ponies in each others' driveways.
We could make it a thing!
I'll have to ask but? It's tomorrow right? I think tomorrow is when my dad has a dentist appointment, I will ask though. + Also my mom may come with in the case he can't. I don't think they'd be comfortable with me going w/out one of them lol even though I'm 18. So no promises but BOY will I try.
Even if I can't come w/ you to the meet we should definitely meet up IRL sometime. :devious:

so I can't seem to find all the info in here...lol....was it applejacks as the special pony this year???......what are the contests and stuff is it the same as last year??....do we need to bring anything else besides food??.....also have we gotten an address yet where it will be held?? are we having a swap again?
SilverGlade, how much room is there for card tables? Compared to last year, for example. I can either bring a normal-sized card table or a big ol' folding table from a church basement, or some combination of the two. I just want to be sure there's room for whatever I decide to bring! I'm ok with being outside, as long as it isn't a pouring rain. I've got pretty much everyone in plastic bags just so I don't have to keep combing them to keep them pretty for sale, so if they get a few sprinkles on them it is ok.
Wait- do you have a clothesline? Can I call dibs on the clothesline? That would be an amazing way to display these ponies! I'll even bring my own clothespins! If not, I will figure something out. I'm actually a little excited about trying to figure something like a clothesline out. I wonder if my husband feels like doing some strange creating?
I can PM you Sapphire Rain!

Hey Aurora! I have room for both tables - bring whichever you like, or both! I don't have a clothesline, but I do have a wheeled clothes rack that you may be able to use. :) Ponies wouldn't be on eye level though, if that's important to you.
I can PM you Sapphire Rain!
If we are bringing stuff to sell, should we already have prices, or is there bartering? This is my first meet :banana:
Hi I have tons of g4 MOC stuff for sale decided to go back to collecting g1. It is just too much to keep up with both especially since I collect MOC and nirvana. I just am not sure what to bring there are about 3 totes worth of just that. I can see if I can put some pictures up. also anyone collect cherry Mary muffin? or Kenner shimmers MOC?? I am so far behind have to start pricing things LOL.
Not sure if I said this already, but I am going to bring some apple pie cupcakes! :good:
I'm probably not making buttermints, since I've never made them and don't have time to learn now. I'll be making an apple cobbler and a veggie tray, as long as no one else has claimed the veggie tray yet.
Question- I have the original watercolor paintings of the TAF ponies that were featured in the Chicago pony fair this year (they were made into the popular TAF fair pins and other merch)... any interest in seeing them? They are pretty large, but I could bring one or two for display.
:art:
Sorry, no G2's besides a couple random accessories, and no EqGirls here.any howleens?
Anyone wanting MH dolls? Just wondering if I should even bring the ones I'm selling.
Besides a handful of ponies, I have some G1 LPS pieces, vintage SSC, MIB CMM ice cream doll, plus a Perfume Puff Palace. Oh and MLP trading cards? I would love to trade, especially 3.0 since stores here stopped carrying them :(
I just don't want to bring things no one wants at all due to room.
I'm SO SORRY, Del! I totally spaced out! We'll bring something else- maybe not a fruit tray since there will be so many apples! I honestly didn't mean to step on any veggie toes (tee-hee!), I was just thinking of what I can bring. My guest and I (Her name is Ashley, she doesn't have a persona that I know of) will be bringing apple cobbler and something delicious and non-dessert.I'm probably not making buttermints, since I've never made them and don't have time to learn now. I'll be making an apple cobbler and a veggie tray, as long as no one else has claimed the veggie tray yet.
Should I still do a veggie tray too then? :/ I guess I could do a fruit and veggie tray?
I was also surprised to find that the m&ms in the goodie bags were custom made for the meet! O_O Very nice touch, I think!

I just saw that too. How awesome! They're so cute with the apples. Thanks again Silver Glade!
Thanks so much Silver Dawn! Had a blast this year :)That was LoverofBalto. :)
Also..... I bought a Megan shoe for .50 cents and can't remember who from. You had your stuff displayed outside next to all the G3 ponies by the food tables. If this is you please contact me. I think you actually had Molly's shoes too! Well I'm pretty sure no saw atleast one. If you have a pair I'd love to buy them from you! They are white in color and a bit wider than Megan's.
