Goody Bags

I spent yesterday finishing off the custom items and putting together the goody bags for Cantering Carousel and let me tell you...they are AMAZING!!!! (say that in the voice of Pinkie Pie for full effect).

So let's run through them :D

Bronze

The bronze bags contain:

• 1x Cantering Carousel pen
• 1x Breyer pen
• 1x Badge
• 1x Pencil
• 1x Advert
• 1x Crochet Potato (made by the amazing Claire Goss - each potato is unique)
• 5x Random Sweets
• 1x Random Item (these are left over from the goody bags we gave at Colours of the Rainbow Lives, there is everything from bracelets to plastic snakes to pencils)!

I may add some more things if I find something adorable or cute or awesome whilst out shopping this week and it comes in packs of 43 :p

Silver

Each silver bag contains everything you get in the bronze bag (check out this happy if not slightly scary looking potato) plus you also get:

• 1x Breyer Stablemate (each one varies - they are from the Shadow Box set)
• 1x Mini Whinnie Surprise
• 1x Custom Arabian Halter (each handmade by me, in a huge variety of colour combinations)
• 1x Custom Notepad (10 different ones are available)

Gold

First off I know the feltie, potato and tags are missing...they escaped from the photo! But you get the idea from the list :D

As well as everything in the Silver bag you also get:

• 1x CollectA (either the Gypsy foal or Peruvian Paso foal)
• 1x Extra Breyer Pen
• Post It Notes
• Tags
• 1x Custom Breyer Stablemate (more pics of those below)
• 1x Schleich (there are six different ones)
• 1x Breyer Traditional Rug (in either blue, pink or red)
• 1x Blusher Brush (missing from this pic as they haven't arrived yet)!
• Awesome custom bag to keep it all in

Individual Item Pics

Here are some pictures of some of the items that you will get in your goody bags :D

Customs

Here are the six available customs, each one is boxed up and sealed. These bags are completely random and will be given out randomly, I won't know who has what!













Pens

These are the custom printed pens we got - in a rainbow of different colours :D





Felties

There are six little key chain felties for the gold goody bags, each one is unique

Ticket Order Deadlines

Hello everyone!

The show is fast approaching and whilst I have a complete nervous breakdown because we currently have no tables (DISASTER) I am attempting to sort other things out.

One of those is to make people aware of the upcomming deadlines to order your tickets!

If you really have left it this late then SHAME ON YOU! But don't worry you still have a couple of weeks left to order.

So below are the deadlines you need to keep in mind.

Full Payment

If you have only paid a deposit for your ticket you need to send full payment by 1st July 2017

Silver & Gold Tickets

The deadline for ordering silver and gold tickets is 10th July 2017

Bronze Tickets

The deadline for ordering bronze tickets is 13th August 2017

Or when the days sell out!!!


If you do not pay in full by July 1st you will lose your place at the event.

These deadlines are strict. No exceptions. The show has been open for entries for over 11 months so you've had plenty of time!

If you would like more information about the event or to book your tickets please visit: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/tickets-and-shows-2-c.asp

Why the Deadlines?

There are several reasons why we have a strict deadline for the show. They are listed below:

1. Bills - we have a lot of expenses for this show and they need to be paid! If you don't pay there won't be any rosettes :(
2. Custom Made Items - The silver and gold tickets include custom printed items. These take time to make/order so there needs to be a deadline on these tickets
3. Ticket Postage Times - Your tickets are posted to you! So there needs to be a bronze deadline.
4. Security of Numbers - We need to know how many people are attending so we can make sure we have enough of everything on the day
5. Entry Packs - Every entrant will get a personalised entry pack, these take time to make!
6. Wristbands - You will need to wear a wristband throughout the event, we need to know how many of these to order
7. Over Ordering - If you have to order loads of everything then this costs us money and leaves us with loads of stuff left over. Keeping costs down is really important because it means that money can go on more important things, like cake
