My Little Pony Fair Weekend- Thanks!

The My Little Pony Fair took place this past weekend in Louisville, KY and it went off without a hitch. I'm incredibly grateful to my fellow staff members, Mary and Celia who helped out enormously. Also, I should thank Karen for our awesome banner designs and our game volunteers for taking time to run our games and activities. You all rock! In addition, I recruited my mother, mother-in-law, aunt, grandmother, dad, and brother to fill various roles and they did an amazing job. I seriously couldn't have pulled this event together without their help. Thank you so much!!

At the moment I'm attempting to unpack all of the Fair supplies and regain my house as it spent the last two weeks serving as MLP Fair Central. I'll be sure to add some photos and recount the Fair awesomeness in the coming days, so stay tuned!

MLP Fair Virtual Events

I'm currently in the middle of my vacation, but wanted to take a minute to bring attention to two fabulous virtual My Little Pony Fair events in which even those who can't attend can participate.

Ponyroom Tour
Take a photo of your My Little Pony Collection or Ponyroom and send it via email to mlpfair @ mylittleponyconvention.com along with your name (real name or board name is fine) and it will be played in our Ponyroom Tour slide show during the My Little Pony Fair. Go ahead and WOW us with your Pony collections!

LOLPonies
Much like the internet sensation lolcats only with My Little Pony. Grab your favorite Pony and take a silly photo adding a caption in LOL speak and send it to mlpfair @ mylittleponyconvention.com and it will be played in our LOL Ponies screen show.

Both attendees of the Fair and those who are unable to attend are welcome to submit photos for these virtual events.

Get snapping shutterbugs!

Have a MLP Question for Hasbro? Ask it and You May Get an Answer!

I've been in contact with Hasbro about this year's MLP Fair and they have confirmed they will be attending as well as running a booth and hosting a Question and Answer session with collectors on Saturday.

I will be compiling a list of questions to send to Hasbro from those posted by collectors so they can provide answers and discussions at the Fair.

If you have a question you'd like to ask, please post it in the comment section on this post or add it to one of the following threads: MLPTP Hasbro Q Thread MLPArena Q Thread

I can't wait to see what Hasbro has up their sleeves for the Fair this year!

Note to Self: Remember to Eat

There is an end in sight! Only two days to go!

Don't get me wrong, I love my job. However, when you are teaching a room full of Kindergartners the week before summer vacation begins, you tend to forget. It gets a little crazy.

In pony news, I managed to complete a draft of the My Little Pony Fair event schedule this past weekend. It was actually a challenge fitting in all the games, activities, speakers, and presentations into two days. I knew we had quite a bit planned, but when I put it all together it is pretty ambitious. I always consider an event a success when I forget to eat, drink, and go to the restroom for fear of missing something exciting. So here's to MLP Fair 2010, may you bring hunger, thirst, and dehydration to the masses.

Want to Give a Presentation or Demonstration at MLP Fair 2010?

Are you an expert on alternant Birthflower Ponies? Do you know the ins and outs of buying ponies from foreign auction sites? Maybe you know all there is to know about MLP pamphlets, stickers, or comics? Can you make awesome pony themed jewelry?

The MLP Fair staff is looking to add a few demonstrations and presentations to our 2010 schedule of events. If you are planning on attending this year’s 2010 My Little Pony Fair and would like to be considered to be added to the program to share your knowledge or talents with other collectors, please email mlpfair@mylittleponyconvention.com and submit your presentation idea. You will need to include your real name, MLPArena or MLPTP board name, a detailed description of what you would like to present, your experience in that area, and what you will need for your presentation (projector, document camera, copies for handouts etc.) If you are thinking about doing a demonstration, a photo of a finished product is appreciated so we can get an idea of your finished product. Presentations and demonstrations should last 15 to 30 minutes in length. All presentation and demonstration ideas will be considered.

Thanks so much for helping us make the My Little Pony Fair an awesome event for collectors!
