After the Keeneland Backstretch Tour, it was time to join plastic pony con. One of the coolest parts of Breyerfest was the unveiling of the Best of Customs contest finalists. 2022 was different because the finalists weren’t announced until Thursday. In previous years the hobby knew the finalists in each category. This leveled up the excitement.
The Best of Customs were displayed in the same room as the Artisan’s Gallery—which had a plethora of fantastic pieces.
On Thursday morning, we signed into the welcome center to partake in the Keeneland Backstretch Tour.
Keeneland began as 147 acres owned by the Keene family and now spans over 1,000 acres. Movies like Seabiscuit, Dreamer, and Secretariat had pieces filmed there.
Over the last few years the hobby pivoted and went online. I was able to participate in Breyerfest from the comfort of my bedroom and craft room.
Covid changed the world—for the hobby, it opened up the doors to what we can do virtually to allow more people to experience various aspects of the hobby.
2022 brought back in person Breyerfest while offering online options to those that couldn’t attend!
On Breyerfest Tuesday, Mackenzie drove to my house before we set off on Wednesday. It was probably the easiest drive I’d ever had to Breyerfest. We hit zero storms or traffic. Stopped at a few Targets because how could we not.
