Canceled for 2014 - Pennsylvania Pony Meet in 2014, UPDATE page 5

[Ivaness]

You know I would be there (barring unforeseen circumstances)!!!

I am happy to do whatever needed to support the meet. You know my meet history and personal info already   

I am very afraid of the cat in your avatar. 

[TwilightOwl]

Exciting! I'd love to attend (assuming I could talk myself into it).  Like others, I'm shy in person.
I would bring one adult.
Food isn' t a problem.
A small entry fee is also no problem.

[Eaglefeather]

Hmm! Sounds like lots of fun! I live about 2 hours away from Reading, but my sister is going to live a lot closer to Reading. I hope I can make it, but like others, I am very shy! 

If I were able to attend...
Will you bring anyone other than yourself:  Yes, an adult, but they might not stay with me.

How would you feel about paying a small admission to help cover costs of the venue:  That would be fine!
Would you be willing to bring a food contribution?:  Yes! I love to cook and bake.

Have you attended any other pony events, such as a local meet or the Fair?: No, I haven't been able to go anywhere yet.

Thanks, everyone! I can't say it enough: if you're shy, please don't let that stop you! I am a typically a very shy person, too. I've been going to pony meets for many years, and I assure you that *lots* of pony collectors are the same way! Making friends with common interests is a great thing, and I think the positive experience of making pony friends has helped me be less shy in other social situations, lol. It will be worth it, I promise!!

[Anitas_Mom]

Sounds like a good idea!  Rowdy and I will try to make it.

A fee is OK and a food contribution is too!

[Summer-blade]

oh hey just an offer as far as food I can bake and I have a pony pan I can provide pony cake!

[kitkatvintage]

Thanks for the offer, Summer-blade. Once we get a little closer to the meet, I'll start figuring out the particulars on food.

Anita's Mom, glad to have you & Rowdy!

I would love to go, but I wouldn't be able to know for certain until much closer to the date next year. Since I live north of Pittsburgh, it would likely be close to a 4.5 hour drive for me, which means I'd probably try to drive in the night before and make a weekend of it. But since I have two kids, I'd either have to bring both or find someone to stay with them. (In theory my husband could do it, but he never knows when he'll be called into work on a weekend. Fortunately, we do have family nearby.) So anywhere from 1 adult to 2 adults 2 kids.

Now going from there... I'd be more than happy to pay some sort of admission fee to help pay for what's needed. Since it's a long drive for me, I'd be unable to make food, but maybe I could figure something out like picking up drinks nearby or something.

I've been to MLP Fair twice, and a few informal meets back when I lived in California. I'd love to try to make this work if at all possible!

[nessy_86]

It would be about a three hour drive for me (from Southern MD). I would seriously consider going depending upon date/time/etc. I would have to decide on driving up in the morning and back at night or staying a day.

I would bring my husband with me (he may not appreciate it, but he'll be alright!)

A small fee wouldn't be a big deal.

I could easily pack a cooler with me to bring in some food! I love baking and making a quick dish wouldn't be a problem!

I haven't been to any other pony meets, but I plan on attending the one in Virginia at the beginning of next month!

And to everyone who said they are shy-- I tend to be as well, but you can't let that stop you! What more could you ask for than a bunch of fellow MLP lovers in the room with you!

-Will you bring anyone other than yourself (significant other, friend, parent, children, ect.)? If you plan to bring children, please let me know ages so that I can plan appropriate activities.
I will probably bring just myself, but would love to carpool with other pony meeters

-How would you feel about paying a small admission to help cover costs of the venue (I'm thinking $5-10 depending on the cost of the venue)? i'd be fine with that and/or paying for a table/display area

-Would you be willing to bring a food contribution?most definitely

-Have you attended any other pony events, such as a local meet or the Fair?all of the  above

definitely interested in helping with planning etc btw too!

I hope youll be able to find someone to carpool with!

[ponylady]

I sooo wish I could come KKV. But I looked and it is a 7 hour drive for me 

Best of luck in your planning!

[kitkatvintage]

thanks everyone!

For those traveling: I will get info for hotels in the area to help with planning on staying over or driving in one day.

For those bringing someone who may not want to stay: I will gather info on interesting things to do in the area to keep bored husbands happy (lol).

Thanks again to everyone who has replied! If anyone is reading & not sure, please feel free to reply or send me a pm. I've talked to several people who have not posted either here or at the TP, and believe it or not... there are over 30 people interested in attending!

...and ponylady, you are always welcome if you decide to take a road trip!! Of course, I completely understand not wanting to drive 7hr for a pony meet.

[girlyponce]

I would try to make it

[kitkatvintage]

Awesome, girlyponce!

and a bump for the weekend
