ATTENDEES! PLEASE BRING THE FOLLOWING:
•Ponies and other merch to sell/trade
•Cash, including a good mix of smaller bills
•Your potluck food contribution
•Haiku (submitted to Silver Glade) and art contest entries, if participating
•Items for prize table, unwrapped (maybe like 2 or 3 things? Small/inexpensive; pony or non-pony okay)
•“Gift Grab” dice game gifts, wrapped (if participating. Not mandatory but super fun. These are $1-$3 gifts, the fun is in the game!! Works best if each person playing has brought at least two gifts)
•$10 Mystery Gift, wrapped (if participating, not mandatory. One to one swap.)
•Ponies for “Show and Tell”
•Items for free bin
•A spare table
•Camping chairs/folding chairs
Definitely bring tables if you have them! I have a feeling we'll run out of surface area fast at my house, though I do have several folding tables I can set out. I have about 14 outdoor chairs and (of course!) furniture indoors, but the more chairs the merrier, I say.
Would anyone like to volunteer to be a photographer? I have small digital cams, but a big honkin' Nikon or somesuch would work even better!
Please let me know, if you haven't already, what you're bringing for potluck. That should be it - any questions you may have, ask me! We'll be seeing each other soon!
