We couldn’t be prouder if we tried of what we accomplished at Ponyville Ciderfest 2017. It still feels a little unreal, to be honest.

Our team goes into every con with the intention of making it the best we can. Judging from your posts and tweets, we think we met our goal.

BUT, our staff is only one link in the chain. There are MANY people that helped make #PVCF17 a success and we’d like to thank some of them.

Thanks to Tabitha St. Germain for writing your script, for donating your dress to charity, and for generally being amazing. You truly are Rarity!
