Breyerfest is happening in less than a week. SO CLOSE.
That also means the C/Y Show will be happening soon. So I’m going to post the links of the past series I did about getting ready for the C/Y show. Some of the rules have changed this year, so make sure to double check the rules (I plan on updating this series one day!)

Copperfox Pony

On Tuesday, my Copperfox Pony arrived. I pledged earlier this year to be a part of the kickstarter campaign and my package included a model off of one of the three available molds.

I really liked the Connemara mold the first time I saw her, because performance+pony=yes. So I chose her.

Love her face!

I really liked what was included in the package.

There was a Copperfox pin,

certificates of authenticity, a handwritten letter,

,a magazine, and a how-to packet for drawing breyer horses.

After seeing so many variations of dapples, I was worried about what extreme my model would be. When I opened my box, I was pleased that her dapples weren’t too bad. She did have a warped leg, but it wasn’t hard to fix. A blast of heat from my heat gun fixed the issue. I can’t wait to tack her up, and use her in performance.

While I wish the pony looked more like the prototype, I’m happy with my whole package and can’t wait until they’re released as regular runs. It was cool to be a part of the whole campaign. :)

Impromptu

When I got home after work, my mom had an idea. An impromptu trip to Gettysburg for dinner. Gettysburg isn’t too far from me. About 45 minutes-1 hour away.

The last time I’d been to Gettysburg it wasn’t tourist season, so the streets had been empty. Today we even saw carriages.

When my mom first became a State Trooper, Gettysburg was the first place she worked at. Her favorite place to eat at was the Dobbin House Tavern, so that’s where she took my sister and me.

Picture taken by my mom

The restaurant is Gettysburg’s oldest and most historic building. It was built in 1776 by Reverend Alexander Dobbin. It has been kept to look the same as it did two hundred years ago. The full history can be read here.

To get to the restaurant you actually take stairs to go below ground and you also eat by candle light.

Wasn’t this dark. Decided to take an artsy picture with the candle.

The menu had numerous types of food, but I opted for French Onion soup and a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich (the menu gave it a cooler name). The waitresses and waiters all wore period-clothing.
