2012 Virginia Pony Meet - August 18th

[KarentheUnicorn]

Hiya Ponypeople!

August is fast approaching and that means it's time for the Virginia Pony Meet!

This year our meet will be located in Fredericksburg, Virginia on Saturday August 18th

We will be renting a place to host our meet so there should be plenty of room for those who would like to attend.

We will be adding info about games, activities, food and other meet info soon so keep an eye on the thread for updates.

If you are interested in attending this years meet please feel free to post a message on this thread or you can PM me as well.

We also have an email we use for the meet so once we get the attendee list together some information (like directions) will come by way of email. So if you are new and haven't attended in previous years please be sure to PM me your email so I can add you to the email list. Those who have already attended should already be on the email list but if you are not sure please feel free to contact me.

We also have a facebook group if you would like to join you can find it at this address on FB:

YAAAY :-) for the VA MEET!  I  cannot wait :-) good way to wrap up the summer :-) with ponies ! 

so looking forward to it being so close this year and I can so offer to be the carpool :-) for any other MD folks

Keep us posted on custom contest theme !

and oh = anyone do siggy-s as adoptables for this?  Worse case, is I can probably draw and scan in - whoo hooo for actual reality gatherings :-)

[Argentum-Zeena]

Awesome, I should be able to go I missed out on the MD meet due to distance and lack of a ride, but this is actually close enough that attending is very possible!

[EStRanger]

Oh, man, this is really close to the Zelda Symphony/Otakon for me to be making two trips up north, but I'm not going to count myself out just yet!

[Heliodor]

I'm actually in MD, is it okay if I joined the Facebook page? I'm not sure how far away the area is from where I am. I'm about 30min south of Baltimore, so I'll have to check. I've never been to a pony meet though so I'd really like to go to one! I'll have to look it up.

I think Baltimore might be about 2 hours away from fredericksburg, but don't quote me on that

Yes! You may join the FB page. Actually I think I may have just approved you!



And I'm going to be updating in the next couple of days on the custom contest. I figure I need to get that out there before any other info to give people time to create a custom. So keep an eye on the thread for our first contest info.
