2018 Canadian Collectors Extravaganza

Last weekend was the inaugural Canadian Collectors Extravaganza.  A small but enthusiastic group of Collectors from three different countries got together in Montreal to celebrate all things pony.

Maples!
This was a one-day con with dealers, contests, and a special guest:

Giant Sundance
It was great to see some old Pony friends again, as well as making some new friends.  I forgot to take many pictures, as I was too busy chatting with people and taking part in the trivia and paint-a-pony contests.  And shopping, of course.

Paint-a-Pony in 30 Minutes Contest
Megan and TJ came out again to be my custom contest entries at the event, and they won!
I really enjoyed attending the smaller conventions this year.  Both the Fair and the Extravaganza were, in different ways, reminiscent of the pony meets of years past, where collectors got together to spend the weekend geeking out and hanging out with friends they might only see once a year.  Personally, I prefer these more intimate conventions to a larger, more impersonal con.  It makes for a more fun weekend.

You can see more pictures here.  Can't wait until next year!
