NW Pony Party planning thread

[Katgyrl]

Thanks hannaliten!

I can go take a peek at the Redmond library's meeting rooms. when I go to home depot in the next couple of days (trying to build a chicken coop! )


Checking out some locations online.
The Covington Library is right off highway 18, looks easy to get to.
Maple Valley is pretty close to Highway 18 and looks like it was recently renovated.
The Kent library is right off the 167 and looks huge, so it probably has nice meeting rooms.
Redmond library's pretty easy to get to from the 520.

Do we want to grab one of these more southern options to make it easier for our lovely Oregon peeps? Or does another half an hour north not make that much a difference?


Here's a pic of all the locations in King County (not just the available ones), yellow dots are the large size libraries, blue dots are the medium libraries, and purple libraries are small

So I went ahead and booked the Maple Valley library so we can make sure we get one, but that can always be cancelled if there's a different one we'd like to use. The Covington library is no longer available and the Kent library only has a small meeting room available.

Did anyone check out their local library and has some input?

The maple valley library is fine.    I also really liked that place academic squirrel had

Maple valley library is fine (and really close to me)

So we have a day and a place... do we have a time??? I would love to come!

[Katgyrl]

So far we've got August 10th at the Maple Valley Library. The last one we started at 10:30 and that seemed to work well. What do you all think? The library is reserved from 10am to 4pm, and that includes set up and take down time.

I think we should do a potluck again this year, that worked out well last year. So bring a treat/dish to share.


I was thinking last night about the party and what else we can do for it.

Should we have some games or contests? Last year we talked about doing some custom contests, "Under the Sea" and "Strawberries" are the two categories I remember. I don't know about you guys, but I have not had time to make any customs! Do we still want to do custom contests?

I can bring coloring pages to do a coloring contest. I thought it would be fun to do a "alternate color" contest where you color the pony the colors of a different pony, different gen or the same.

Any other ideas for games or activities we could do?

Anyone willing to donate a prize for one of the contests or a goodie for goodie bags? I think I could make some pony tutus to contribute to the goodie bag.

And who would be willing to come early to help set up?

Any other ideas for the party?

[hannaliten]

I can donate a prize, I just don't know what. Any suggestions?

[Aitsuki]

Well, I know something you made Hanna would be fabulous. Something simple though, like a rehair? Or one of your fillies... Just a thought.

[hannaliten]

Hmm, I'll think about it

[Katgyrl]

I agree, anything you make is great, Hanna! How about some of those soda cozies you had at Everfree? Did you have any left?

[hannaliten]

I don't have any left! We sold them all.

[Katgyrl]

Wow, even Diamond Tiara! I'm impressed.

[hannaliten]

Wow, even Diamond Tiara! I'm impressed.

Well, we kinda did a "buy 1 get 3 free" for those.

I'll help set up!  Although I can be late, so

I can donate a Rainbow Curl G1, and a Funko Lyra, and I'm sure I'll find a baby pony too...

I loved the idea of a custom contest, but haven't exactly made anything having to do with either strawberries or under the sea-  I do love custom contests though-  maybe something more vague?  I'm trying to finish a re-sculpt - so much harder than I thought!

Potluck is a great idea.
