Greetings, readers! Well, the first day of Hoofbeats and Maple Treats is over, and what a day it was! I had a leisurely morning in my hotel room sleeping in until the late hour of 8:30 AM, when the loud banging noises outside my room became too loud to ignore (not sure what they were working on in the hallway). Since I didn't have the foresight to rent a car so I could do some sightseeing (not realizing Niagara Falls is only 1.5 hours away), I spent the morning relaxing in my room and playing some Witcher 3. All too soon, it was time to head downstairs and get signed in for the event...and here are our special run models for the event!
Of those, Caesar and Pitter Patter are the only ones I want. But they're both in the blue group, so I'll only be able to pick one (if they aren't all gone by the time I get up there). I don't want either of the models in the green group, but maybe I can partially trade one of them toward the one I don't get from the blue group? Who knows.
Anyway, after signing in was done, I went up to my room and unwrapped my event models!
After more Witcher 3, I went back downstairs to get on the bus to Woodbine. Here's a not-so-great photo of Woodbine in the distance!
The rest of my photos are on my other camera, so that's all you get for now. After hors de'ouvres and a few races, and some exploring of Woodbine, we headed back to the hotel. And that's it for the event for today! More tomorrow, obviously.
In other news, this year's JAH is showing up in people's mailboxes! I don't have photos of the revelations yet, but there's a silver filigree Fighting Stallion and mini Fighting Stallion set, and one of the releases in next year's Vintage Club is a lamp featuring the Vanner Foal. Both things I don't need to buy, woohoo!
And in other, other news, this month's Collector Club newsletter was released today as well! If you're a CC member, check your email to read it. This month's feature story is an article on the creation of Arachne, and there's a spooky Halloween giveaway as well! Lastly, there's this sneak peek:
Something coal-related? Hmm, what could it be? Guess we'll find out eventually. Happy Halloween, everyone!
