It's roll-call time on the Ohio Pony Meet message board. Please come and post if you are in fact attending the Meet. Thank you!

_________________________________________

Hello, ponyfriends! ^_^

After much deliberation and polling and fundraising, we, the Ohio Pony Meet Hostesses, have chosen a date and venue for our Meet this year.

DATE: August 1st, 2009
LOCATION: Reily, Ohio (near Cincy)

***Please Mark your Calendars!***

We have many fun things and special surprises planned for everyone this year, please do your best to attend. ^_^

We charge NO admittance fee... the only thing we request our participants to contribute is a little bit of food.

This link HERE will take you to our free message board where we have all the details laid out, as well as a place to look for a carpool. You can also click on the link in my signature to get there. ^_^

Here is an approximate map of the meet location and estimated driving times. This meet is not just for Ohio ponies! Heehee!

Hope to see you there! ^_^

Best Regards,

The 2009 Cincy Ohio Pony Meet Hostesses:

Baby Pupperfly, Fire Muse, Irish Seashell, Lemondrop Wishes, Sheena

Yes we are expecting a great turnout this year!

Our venue is larger than we have had in the past and also we are closer to Indiana so hopefully we can have other collectors be able to attend this year.

Yay! Welcome back to Indiana!!

I may or may not be there. I just realized that weekend is the only weekend between a big trip to California and Wizard World in Chicago....and the weekend of my mom's birthday so we may have family stuff going on. But I've got the calendar marked, and hopefully it stays clear and I won't be too wiped out from the other trips Smile

Ah well, maybe next year!

That's quite a trip! It's near the border of Ohio and Indiana. Not that we wouldn't want you there, but you might want to see if there's one closer. Wink

Like LadySatine said we our in the south western corner of Ohio. Lets see maybe 8-10 hours. I have a friend in Rochester and it takes her about 10 hours so how far is that from you?

We would love to have you! Maybe you could look into carpooling? That could help with gas and keep you company! Keep us updated. You will want to check out our board and post about carpooling info!!!

I'm still toying with the idea of coming to this meet... I think I might see if I can leave the toddler with my husband overnight/for the weekend. GASP! I don't think I've ever gone a whole day without seeing her, lol. But really that's the only way I can come to this one and not be too tight on time.

I wonder if Gypsy's going? Has anyone heard? We could carpool from Lexington if she wanted to.

And would it be possible to stay overnight with anyone from OH? That would make it so much easier to not have to drive back the same day. Thanks for any questions you can answer!

~.^

STLGusty I know what you mean, for me the traveling is the expensive part. Well and getting away for that long....but yeah not possible for me either at this time. Local meets that you can drive to are great for that.

Do you think you'll be able to make it?!!

Tiggerkitn yeah you should certainly try to make arrangemets to make it! Last I heard from Gypsy she was planning on coming, not sure if that is still the plan or not. There is a forum on the board for carpooling so you could try asking there. As for staying with someone, I am not sure about that either I will be staying out of town. My parents live 5 minutes from the hall we will be at so I will stay there since they will have the baby and the dog while I attend the meet! Maybe someone can accomodate you though, just keep checking. I hope you can make it!!!

Aubrey's trying to talk me into coming this year...I'll have to check my schedule, but my daughter may actually enjoy a pony meet, now that she's 7.

I'll see what I can come up with, since it's about a 4 hour drive for us, so not totally unrealistic.

I hope all you guys can come! ^_^ HUGS!

I'm in Brandenburg, which is very north - borders Indiana, about an hour from Louisville. So Lexington - I'm guessing around 2.5 - 3 hrs. Something like that, lol. Carpooling would be fun, but my mom would probably want to go, too. Poke Tounge

FireMuse - I'll try, hon'!

Well we rented a hall to use but there will be no one there but us, so no there will not be child care. Kids are welcome to attend though.

I guess it depends on what age we're talking about too. I would never attempt to bring my toddler. I would just chase him around all day and not get to do anything. A little older though we have some activites for, coloring and such, so they would be entertained.

I know a lot of meets focus on trading/selling/buying... Would it be best if I brought SOMETHING to potentially sell, or do you think if I just participated in the buying aspect, I'd be ok? Poke Tounge

Man...not sure if I'm going or not now... The opportunity to finally wash some ponies is weighing great on my mind along with feeling bad for letting my grandma go alone.... so if I can't catch a ride from Louisville and back...then I won't be there...

That is if I can make up my mind to go with my grandma or stay home and hope my sister could take me...

gah...decisions...

STLGusty there will be lots of activities at this meet so even if you do not bring stuff to sell there will still be stuff to do. Lots of people like to bring stuff so that they can trade with each other but you certainly do not have to.

Wildshadow it will be a great meet so I hope you can make it! Just let us know, I'm still hoping you find a ride!

I'll see if I can scrounge up a few to sell, but I might just go and see if anyone's just willing to sell Wink

Muhaha

I just asked my husband... "Want to go to Cincinnati on August 1st?" His response was, "I don't care." And then he followed up with "Why?" And my response was..."Pony Meet. I'll be sure to tell everyone you're so excited."

His response... "Oh joy."

Smile

So unless something falls through with work (whcih it has a tendancy to do since I'll be just starting my new job), I should hopefully be able to make it! Smile

Well, I'm planning on it, so unless something goes horribly awry, I'll be there!

I'll have my daughter, 7, and the baby, but my husband and son may decide to go elsewhere. Although, if we have our own place, I may bring the DVD player and they can watch movies or something...

We're still in the planning stages, but hopefully it will work out for us!

It'll be great to see you! HUGS!

I'm so upset... My husband and I got a cat on Wednesday...and at the same time, my in-laws got a cat... When their cat was put in the box to go home, it jumped out and darted across the parking lot... My husband darted after it, caught it...and consequently got bit a whole bunch and scratched like crazy... The next day, his hands and left arm was sooo swollen... He had to go to the doctor and they gave him medicine and said he had cat scratch fever ...his swollen arm and a 102 fever...

I had my tub of ponies packed and EVERYTHING in anticipation of going all last week :'( :'( I finally got a chance to get on line today...So I really hope you guys did have a great time. I wish I could have been there... Stupid cat...

(On the bright side, the kitty we got isn't psycho...)...sigh...

I look forward to seeing the pictures!
