Breyerfest has came and went and here are the things I did and got during those three days. I would've updated live as it was happening, but I was a little busy and it was so hot out I was exhausted by the end of the day, even with napping in the car as my dad drove us around.
Day 1:
This day I was anticipating tons of people trying to get in as not only was it an anniversary year, but it was the company anniversary and a lot was hyped up so instead of waiting for hours inline till the gates opened, I went to meet my folks (my aunt couldn't make it this year) for breakfast at our spot near their hotel in Georgetown, and that was First Watch. We got to the horse park around a half hour to opening and still surprised there was no line to just drive in, past few years back since the pandemic its been an easy drive with finding decent enough spots, before the pandemic there was a line to get in, bad spots, and waiting even longer just to walk into the gates. This year we decided to skip doing NPOD (Ninja Pit of Death), which was ok because it sounded like there wasn't as good of stuff as there usually is and if there was it wasn't that much and got snapped up quick. We instead got through the gates, got some magnets and programs, then checked into the Collector Club tent, actually lucked out and got the last set of bead necklaces they were handing out, they are blue and gold for Breyer colors which is funny because I brought and wore some different ones of those colors I got at Mardi Gras on campus at an even a few years back, so I had extra beads and used them to decorate my backpack. Quick picked up my VIP stuff, looked at a few vendors outside and got two surprise models from Breyerfest 2023, and then quick went into the covered arena to go to the Cloud booth and got tone the bundles that included the new Cloud model, three new books, a poster, a calendar, stickers, magnet, and a water bottle .hen we had to leave as my parents had to finalize buying the property they now have and will be developing over the next few years or so, so they can retire here. Then we had an early dinner then went back as we do the evening show on Fridays.
Day 2:
Again another day started off with First Watch then headed to the horse park. My mom and I went to get our special runs went to the horse park gift shop, and go through the Breyerfest store which there was only one store there this year vs one to two smaller locations, also it was slightly expanded in the covered arena and that might be why. Looked around at the vendors again, waited for Ginger Kathrens to come back so she could sign our Cloud model and calendars. The mostly hung out in the Collector Club tent waiting for my dad to comeback form working on my car as he wanted to make sure the oil was changed and re[place the brakes as they were at least as old as my car, which is 11. Took a 20 minute nap in the tent due to the heat and had a little chicken bowl from Acme Chicken which I wanted to try last year. After that we quick got dinner and then went to the Clarion. Got one peter stone and my mom got a couple of Trail of Painted Ponies, an done other model I forget now. I was very picky this year in buying. I mainly ended up going online and getting stuff from Triple Mountain which will be revealed alter because one item in the order was a preorder and everything will be shipped out once she gets the preorder item.
Day 3:
Actually didn't got to the horse park this day at all. Didn't even enter for the raffles. I wanted the Amazigh but I never get lucky no matter how many tickets I buy an dit gets to be a lot of money at the end of it. So me and my folks went to breakfast at First Watch again and then drove around. Went to and drove through the Lexington Cemetery to see the Henry Clay mausoleum, didn't get put just drove around it and looked at all the other graves, many were old but visually pleasing. One had an engraved picture of Secretariat, I want to go back and find plus walk around where Henry Clay is buried, went around the Secretariat round a bout, drove around Lawrenceburg, Danville, and Harrodsburg, went to the Elizabethtown Mall which is actually under renovations and has changed since I went to it a couple of years ago. Went to Joseph Beth and then had dinner. We also spent Monday and Tuesday together and was nice to have a break from work and get more sleep and spend time with my family.
Then Breyerfest was over and next year's theme was revealed.
A predictions and expectations post will come later after I finish making my predictions and doing more research on Midsommar as the only things I know are form when Start Stable (SSO) used to have a midsommar event which used to be around Breyerfest time. That's all I have for now, see y'all later!!
