History of the Maryland Pony Meets
|
The Maryland Pony Meets were started in 2003 with the meeting of three collectors from the My Little Pony Trading Post. They gathered for snacks and to share and discuss ponies, as well as watch shows and commercials from the 80's.
From that small meeting, a long legacy of ever-growing pony meets began.
With every passing year, more and more people traveled from different parts of the country to attend and be a part of these pony meets. Although it was mostly local collectors at first, they eventually came from as far away as Texas, California, Michigan, North Carolina, and the Eastern shore of the US.
As of the 2010 Maryland Pony Meet, there were nearly 40 collectors from all over the Eastern US, as well as their guests. With nearly two hundred feet of tables worth of ponies and related items, the 2009 meet surpassed every Maryland meet prior, and rose in reputation to make the Maryland Pony Meets the largest running pony meet in the USA.
These meets would never have been possible without some very special, very important people. It is with the support of the hostess's friends and family, as well as many, many supporters in the My Little Pony collecting community, that the meets can continue and grow. And it is with this support and ongoing enthusiasm that the Maryland Pony Meets will continue well into the future.
