The planning for this year’s Fair in Louisville, Kentucky on July 17th and 18th at The Galt House Hotel is now in full swing! I wanted to take the time to share some information about the plans for this year’s Fair.
Updated 5/31 to add Exclusive Details:
As you may already be aware, The My Little Pony Fair will offer a unique exclusive pony figure for sale at this year’s event. We are thrilled about the design that Hasbro created for us. Collectors at last year’s event requested a green pony and Hasbro listened and delivered!
We have received multiple questions about how the 2010 Exclusive Pony will be distributed. This year’s My Little Pony Fair Exclusive Pony will be available for purchase at the 2010 My Little Pony Fair on July 17th and 18th in Louisville, Kentucky. Attendees who order their tickets to the event online before July 5, 2010 will receive one Exclusive Pony voucher per paid ticket in their registration packets. This voucher guarantees the ticket holder the opportunity to purchase 1 exclusive pony before sales are open to other attendees.
Once sales are open to attendees who purchased their tickets at the door, persons who redeemed vouchers may reenter the line and purchase additional Exclusive Ponies.
It should also be mentioned that this year, the My Little Pony Fair has half as many exclusive ponies available for purchase as in previous years. If you are not attending the event and wish to get an exclusive pony you might want to find a “Fair buddy†who is willing to purchase and ship to you.
This year’s exclusive comes packaged in a unique Art Pony box. The price of this year’s exclusive will be the same as last year’s Exclusive Pony, $35.
Updated 5/28 to add:
MLP Fair staff is currently accepting submissions from collectors who would like to be part of our event program by giving a presentation or demonstration. (We are still interested in having people sign up for demos!)
Are you an expert on alternant Birth flower 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.

Games and Activities:
The 2010 My Little Pony Fair is going to be ultra fun with plenty of games and activities for all. Spread over two days, there will be lots of opportunities for different types of game play. By participating in the games you will have chances to win raffle tickets which will be used in an exclusive game player raffle for some fabulous prizes. Get your game face on and join us in the fun!
Gallop Through Pony Land: This game is similar to a childhood favorite, Candy Land—only life size! There will be a limited number of people able to play this game so we will have everyone interested put their name in a hat for the chance to play.
Pony’s Last Straw: See how many Smarties you can move using your breath and a straw! Participants will have 30 seconds to see how many Smarties they can move into a cup. May the person with the best lung capacity win!
MLP Bingo: Just like the old standby but with pony pictures and symbols instead of numbers. There will be multiple rounds and everyone can have the chance to play. You’ll need a bit of luck and also need to study up on your Pony names and symbols.
Bushwoolie Toss: Toss as many beanbag Bushwoolies into the goal in 30 seconds as you can. Keep your eyes on the game and focus and hopefully you can get some raffle tickets!
Hopscotch: The game with a pony name! Using your balance and hopping skills—hop your way to victory!
Pony Art: Think you can draw the best pony on the block? Then participate in our pony drawing contest- but watch out as this game has a twist!
MLP Trivia: This live trivia game is for those with mad pony knowledge. Questions will be asked and you will write out your answer on a dry erase board—people will be eliminated from the group with wrong answers. Bring your thinking cap and see if you can make it through until the end.
Pony Symbol Quiz: Stop by our pony symbol board and see if you can name all of the symbols. An entry box will be provided.
Hello Pony Pals: You will receive a card with booth numbers on it—visit each booth number on your card for a signature and turn in your card for a random drawing.
Hope to see you at this year’s My Little Pony Fair and Convention!
