Featured Breyerfest - 1991

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured Breyerfest! We're covering 1991 this week, so buckle up and get ready! 

Breyerfest 1991
This Breyerfest holds the distinction of having been held in four locations over the summer of 1991. 
Dates: June 8-9 (Oregon)
July 13 (Pennsylvania)
Aug. 10-11 (Kentucky)
Aug. 17-18 (California)
Celebration Horse: Mustang Lady
Number of Celebration Models produced: 2,500
Attendees: I'm not sure how many attended the four events in total. However, further research about Breyerfest 1990 (last week's post has been updated to reflect this) revealed that there actually were 10,000 attendees in 1990. So it's probably safe to assume there were 10,000 or more attendees in 1991 as well. Here's the page for 1991 in the commemorative program: 

The real Mustang Lady was a mustang mare who excelled in endurance events. I'll let you read the information about her in the commemorative program page above rather than try to restate all of it. Mustang Lady (the horse) was present at the Oregon and California Breyerfests. The model was issued on the popular Indian Pony mold sculpted by Chris Hess. Mustang Lady was (again) the only special run produced for Breyerfest that year, other than the raffle models...but what a group of raffle models! Four different raffles were held in 1991, one for each of the locations; these raffles included the copenhagen San Domingo, florentine Legionario, gold charm Man o' War and wedgewood blue Sham. 

The above image is from this Breyer History Diva post about Breyerfest. I'm surprised that they managed to squeeze everything into one day (and also wondering why, considering all the other events were two days long). Maybe the KHP was booked that Sunday for something else? Who knows. But 1991 was the first year the diorama contest was held! 

There wasn't much else I could find about the 1991 Breyerfests, but here's an auction model from IDYB: 

Looks pretty similar to the Coal release from 2002, though Coal's socks are a bit smaller. This auction model was sold at the California Breyerfest. 

And this auction model was also sold at the CA Breyerfest. It looks like he's a test for Dream Weaver, though the face marking looks a little different. 

That's all I have for this week! Check back next week for Breyerfest 1992!
