2015 MN Pony Meet: September 5th in Bloomington! (FIRST PAGE INFO UPDATED 9/4!)

[ponyqueen]

I will be there with my husband! 

[Delphian]

I'll be there! I could probably bring a veggie platter or something to help balance out all the apple themed deserts. lol

I am planning on coming and should have my bf with me. I will try to bring Snicker salad again. I'm unsure of our accommodations at the moment since we are staying all weekend. Not sure all that I have to sell yet. Looking to complete some last more "common" ponies from my US G1 list, maybe some G3s and maybe some htf G4 and other stuff.

Do we have start/end times?

[Silver Glade]

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!!   

[loverofbalto]

Can I get a PM for the address if possible so I can plan ahead?  Thanks every so much.

I can try and bring a pasta of some kind and I have my own table I can bring along.  I hope that helps.  I can't wait.

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.

Yes!.BRING THEM FOR SURE ...I am after accessories... G1anyways.....especially original ribbons!!....anyone have any!!??....

As for food I will think of something delicious.....

It's gonna me + bubbles171 and Ice_gypsy..so 3

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. 

[Nimrodel]

*dashes frantically into the thread*  So sorry, things have been a zoo!   

I hope I'm not too late to the party!  Loved meeting everyone last year, and can't wait to see everyone this year.  :-D

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.

[himmie]

I am hoping to make it to the meet again this year, unless I am still in Arizona. I will likely be limited on space to bring sale items so I would like to have an idea of what people are looking for.

Here's some of what I have:

G1 ponies, accessories, some merch
G2 ponies - just common and baity
G3 ponies - LOTS
G4 ponies - various brushables and fashion style

Care Bears/Cousins plush, some merch (Vintage)
Pound Puppies and Pound Purries
Kitty Kitty Kittens (Tyco and DSI)
Grand Champions horses
Breyers
Littlest Pet Shop (Vintage and Current)
Monster High dolls, accessories
Rainbow Brite (some dolls/plush, merch)
Lady Lovely Locks (random dolls, merch)
Popples (plush, possibly merch)
Puffalumps
Hasbro Puppy, Kitty Surprise Moms and Babies
Furby - all generations

...I'll probably think of more later.

Awesome! I've been to Waseca plenty o' times. I'm in Freeborn, but not many people have heard of it?
It's 20 min from the Iowa border.

[Aurora]

OMG! I live in Freeborn township, right on the edge of Freeborn and Faribault counties! Are you in town? I'm probably much more excited than I should be, but I've always dreamed of being one of those people who lives close to a pony pal, and now I'm one of them! We'll have tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that was perhaps a little more excited than I meant to show. Let me try to pretend to be nonchalant now. "Ah, grand. A pony collector in my very county, where I was not suspecting one would be lurking. I shall slowly get to know them and then, in due time, we shall become chums." (Yes, that was much better. Not nearly as intimidating and scary.)

I live out in the country, about 3 miles south of Matawan. (For other peeps, Matawan is about as big as a SuperTarget.)

[Strawberry Swirl]

Actually I live there! WOW you think you're excited you should hear me screaming!!!! lol

We should totes become buds. Although I cannot garuntee I will be allowed to carpool to the meet, I really wanna ask my dad if he would be cool with riding along w me to the meet if we do carpool.
Ooh, now I'm all pumped.....

[Aurora]

Wait, you live in Matawan? Like, the little tiny town of Matawan? Are you the house with the horse? EEEEK!

[Strawberry Swirl]

No? I said Freeborn. :0
