Nim, I keep hoping someone else will find her- I have so many boxes to dig through, so little time!
But I finally got to go through SOME of the boxes last night, and haven't found her yet. I messaged a few of the people who aren't on the arena very often, and hopefully they will look too. I have asked both of the kids, as they are KIDS and move things, but neither of them really paid much attention to the sale tables. If you have any suspicions but aren't willing to mention them here (especially if they are about me or the kids!) please feel free to pm me. I honestly hope she got tossed into one of my boxes, it will be such a relief to find her!

Other than that, this was a good meet! Maybe a little smaller than some of our past meets, but quality is more important than quantity, and kittens beat out both of those! Thank you to everyone who was there, who helped, who played with my rambunctious kid, and who brought delicious food!

Nim, I am pretty sure she didn't end up with mine, but I will double-check. Was she in a bag? I think most of yours were in bags...

It was super awesome seeing so many of you! Thank you for braving the construction and distance!

I know a lot of people are getting their last-minute things now, so as far as the taco bar goes, we still need cheese and sour cream and lettuce. I am going spice shopping tomorrow, and I really feel like I am pushing it for timing, but I can't make the meat too far in advance! So Wizzer, I think the chips and beans should be enough.

Marla gave me a tour of the site today, and it is amazing! It has all sorts of room for everything we could want to do, separate areas for eating and vending, and bathrooms! Plus a popcorn machine that Marla got a good deal on renting, so all the popcorn you can possibly consume. Consider that a challenge! The only area we are not going to use is the golf simulator, and it will be blocked off, but it is worth mentioning here that if we break it, we will not be welcome back.

I am going to bring a jar to put donations into- Marla paid for this out of pocket, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE drop $5 into the jar sometime during the day. (More if you want, less if that is all you can afford, of course! This is a free event, but Marla shouldn't have to fork out all the cash!)

The Starfire Event Center is what I looked up on Google Maps and it took me to the right place, so you can trust Google this time. It is at the end of 2nd Ave SW in Waseca, MN. There will be a pink sign at the corner of State Street and 2nd Ave SW, and another sign at the entrance we will be using. There are three steps, but also a ramp for wheeling things up and carrying them in. We are going to use the space in front for loading and unloading, but there is a wedding there later in the day and we need to park a little further away to give the wedding party places to park. I am trying to line up a nephew for that--- do you want him dressed like Link, or like a normal person? Well, as normal as my family gets, at least.

Sapphire- I'm really looking forward to these cupcakes! And Tropical Breeze looks lovely!

Hmmm, Michigan isn't that far.....

Were those cardboard box lids acceptable for trays? I will be packing my sale ponies in the boxes, so the lids are coming along anyway.

I do have ponies posted here on the arena, and the pictures are on imgur.
Facebook has been great, though. Join one of the pony pages, i think i am in mlp collectors. Or just a vintage toy sales site. Easy to post pictures, chatty...
I am not sure why the loss of photobucket was so disheartening for me, but it was!

Aldi usually has good avacado prices, too, but they aren't always ready to eat right away.

Sapphire, I will put you down for a table! It is a small meet with some serious collectors, so sales can be really hard- we all have Lemon Drop, after all! It isn't you, or your ponies.

There has been a lot of chatter on how to expand, so don't give up! We get bigger each year, and that can only mean awesome things for selling, and buying! And meeting new friends, and eating those cupcakes!

We need sweets, too. Can't have a sugar high without sugar! So if you prefer bringing sweets, please do! We will make sure they get put out in time- Blackfrost will make sure!
