| As ever, PonyCon is ready to liven up your year with awesome fundraising events to help the convention. Of course, this year shall be no different with a plethora of awesome pony contests to whet your appetite before the big day.
In true PonyCon tradition, 2011 gets to have its very own theme.
From "Butterfly Island" in 2005 to "My Little Pony and Me" in 2010, part of the fun of PonyCon is choosing the theme that the whole con is based around.
This year the committee is proud to present, in honour of our awesome venue this year:
~*~ Happy Go Lucky ~*~
And so, without further ado, let's see what we've in store for you!
Events happening before the big day!
Every year, PonyCon has an action packed schedule of fun events and activities that run up to the day of the convention itself! Why wait until October when you can start having PonyCon fun right now!?
~*~ PonyCon Grand National ~*~
Kick-starting the fundraising for 2011 will be the ever awesome Grand National event, which this year ties in rather nicely with our theme ‘Happy Go Lucky’. Are you ready to back your pony to the finish and see them bring home the prize? Simply pick your pony from the allocated teams and sit back, leaving them to perhaps win you an amazing prize!
Also this year Ponycon is proud to announce something extra to go with the Grand National which could increase your chances of winning. Without giving away too much, I hear it could involve certain types of headwear…

~*~ PonyCon Mascot Contest ~*~
Remember Sprinkles? Or maybe Party Popper? While PonyCon has our eternal mascot, the lovely Britannia, we’ve also had several friends for her to play with over the years and 2011 shall be no different. So if you have the perfect idea of a pony that totally encompasses this years theme, keep checking this site and of course our forum, for details of what exactly Britannia is looking for in her friend.

~*~ PonyCon Prize Draw ~*~
Another popular event, the Ponycon Craft Prize Draw will be making a triumphant return later in the year with the wonderfully talented artists in the Pony community (and possibly some of the committee too) donating their various handmade items as prizes. All you need to do is remember to buy a ticket for the chance to own a stunning one of a kind piece of pony art.
Events on the day!
Of course, PonyCon itself is packed with fun things to do so you'll never get bored! From competitions and games to displays and informational panels, you're bound to find something to do in between purchasing new ponies for your collection from one of the many stalls on offer. Here's a sneak peak at some of the old favourites that are returning again for PonyCon 2011!
~*~ PonyCon Fashion Show ~*~
Time to show off your skill and know how with a sewing machine and then strut your stuff for the rest of the attendees to see. It is of course the chance for you to dress up as your favourite pony, character or even your own persona and declare your personal love for them.
~*~ PonyCon Custom Contest ~*~
Can’t tell tulle from velvet? No worries, the Custom Contest has plenty to offer the arty ones amongst us as you turn a baity pony into a magnificent creation. Will you go all out with your own imagination, or recreate Twilight Sparkle as a G1? It’s in your hands (literally). There may even be an extra category for those of you able to create a custom based around this years theme. Keep your eyes peeled for more information.
~*~ Best Stall ~*~
Fear not sellers, for even though the thought of paints and paper or needle and thread make you quiver, we’ve got something just for you. Everyone purchasing a stall be it to sell or display can automatically take part in the Best stall contest. Simply make your stall stand out from the crowd. Use whatever you like from tinsel, display stands or deck the whole thing out in fairy lights (not sure on the power source for that…maybe get some ponies going in hamster wheels) just make it look awesome and, most importantly, think of the theme. How can you make your stall Lucky for you?
