All in, we're probably going to be paying the venue about $30k for #MareFair2023
Just handed over a check for the bulk of it today
Just some proof we're paying the bills
Tomorrow I hand over a $24k check that'll pay the bulk of the bill for #MareFair2023
It's happening
A bunch of panel acceptance emails were sent out tonight for #MareFair2023
If you applied for a panel, check your email and be sure to click the link and let us know you're still planning to host your panel
If you didn't get an acceptance yet, don't worry there are still some more panels to be accepted.
We will eventually send out rejections/wait-list notices to everypony as we finalize the schedule :fairshine:
Just had a #MareFair2023 lead meeting tonight
Only 6 more before day 0
There's still so much to do but so much is coming together! :hoofscrossed:
Times Square will never be the same.

We've partnered with TSX to bring an ad for our con to Time Square on Tuesday August 8th at 8:30pm EST (the ad will air within a 5 minute window). Get hype and pony up!
You'll be able to watch Fair Flyer take New York here -https://tsx.live/livestream.html
#MareFair2023
Signed an addendum with the hotel giving us some more space
Less than 60 days until the con begins
#MareFair2023
It takes an elite force to keep those fans-of-mares in line (literally), and that force could use someone like you!

#MareFair2023
Work on #MareFair2023 has been getting more intense as we near only 60 days until con weekend
So many pieces have to come together just right
Panels: We had so many great panel submissions, we're probably going to have to say no to some of them.
Venue: We're getting more room to do more things but we need and are working on exciting permits. We did get our event insurance already.
Charity: Celestia, I hope our auction works out well for Fallen Oak
Music: Awesome lineup!
Mare Gallery: Exciting!
In case you don't know, I'm the charity department lead at #MareFair2023 (among many other things)
Just wanted to remind everypony to please think about bringing any unique items you may have to donate for our charity auction!
All proceeds (minus only transaction fees, if any) will be going to our charity this year, Fallen Oak Equine Rescue
This small charity has made huge differences in the lives of many unfortunate horses over the years

Got some potentially amazingly great news for #MareFair2023
Also finalizing boring details like permits with the fire department and insurance
Things are coming together, just a bit over 2 months remaining until day 0!
July 16th is the cutoff for:
•Becoming a sponsor
•Submitting a panel
•Musician applications
marefair.org
If you’ve been tossing around the idea of doing any of the above - it’s go time.

These are a couple pallets of speakers, bass, and other fun snagged by our A/V lead to make sure our concert looks & sounds as amazing as possible for our performers and fairgoers.
The tall ones are JBL SRX-835P's
The subwoofers are JBL SRX828SP's.
Thanks, Greg.
