We are already working on the planning committee for the 2008 event! From yours truly (trigger) & Gwen, a big thank you to all the staffers, volunteers and attendees who all helped make this event successful. There were several that worked prior to the event but was not able to attend. A special thanks to you guys for giving your support to the community without any reward other than our big thank you!! September 13, 2007 - The event is over and we are just now coming down from the adrenaline and fun that was had. What a great group of attendees!!.. The presenters, the staff, the attendees, all were like one big family! And what a great group of people from SL and the Niuka Stables! You guys rock! Although slightly cool (ok cold for most), it was a great weekend! I should be able to update the website in more details and with photos within a week or so. And thanks to Onyx who installed our new broadband satellite system so we can update more quickly and easily and with better resolutions! September 6, 2007 - The email packets for admittance were sent out yesterday, some of the staff workers have arrived for final touches. The hot tub is filled and heating up, the play area and dungeon equipment is on the way to be set up today, the hay is being delivered, the keg and food is being brought it... we are getting CLOSE!!! You still have time to make the event!! September 3, 2007 - We had a blast with our booth at the Duluth/Superior Pride festival. Here are a few images from the day. Me & Trouble, Trouble & Laura, Me & Laura (courtesy of Boomer), Lolly Pop on Stage (she came by and spent a while with us, here is her website!!), and someone doing some pony play behind us... she was waving her hand in the air yelling "Yee Haa"! If you notice in the photos of the booth, a banner and a large poster. I would like to thank the owner of the local UPS store (Jay) for the great last minute work and fantastic prices. Do give him your business and tell him trigger sent you! It was a great day, although foggy and cool (in the low 60's). We met a very nice and most beautiful woman who was vending with Arbonne International (Pure Swiss Skin Care) who donated a basket for the silent auction. Thank you so much Miss Michele! And another woman with beautiful blue eyes from the Kenwood Branch of the Wells Fargo Bank. Also thanks to our vending neighbors (Jennifer, Jessica & Tara) from Smitten Kitten... They now carry "Born in A Barn" on DVD! You girls rock! Laura also talked a lot with a few other vendors but I don't have a list of names to drop <weg>. We are in the week of the event now!!!! and Registration is going well but we still have room for a few more.. so hurry.. it's going to be a blast! We'll be sending out the certificate of admittance email in a day or so. If you registered and paid, be sure to look for this in your email. With the attachment it may get filtered into your junk folder. We also have another new sponsor with Leather Masters in Dallas (& SF, CA). August 28, 2007 - We will be vending registration at the Duluth/Superior Pride Festival this Saturday (September 1, 2007) from 10:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Anyone in the area that would like to come by and say hello, register, or whatever, please feel free to do so! Scarlette Stangata is confirmed to be attending this year's IPPC. Another great Mistress is also working on her schedule to make it out! My friend Lady Cheyenne, formally from Ohio and now in Rhode Island is doing last minute rearranging in hopes of making the trip.. let's keep our hoofs crossed.. she is a fantastic pony rider and world renown Dominant Female! Plus, she is sooooo much fun! Now for the bad news, my great friend Lady Tearanny, who was booked to do the Fire Play Workshop has had a death in the family and had to cancel. Although I know she will eventually be up to visit, she can not make the trip for the event. We wish her the best however; Mistress Saskia will be doing the Fire Play Workshop in her place. August 22, 2007 - Scarlette Stangata, a lifestyle Pro Dom, will be attending, barring any unforeseen problems. She is a fantastic equestrienne who recently relocated to the NYC area. She is anxious to come out and ride the ponies and drive the carts on the trails! Heartwood Whips of Passion sent us a very nice flogger, heavy cow hide, for the silent auction. It arrived today and wow is it nice!! This is a $135.00 flogger! The hot tub is ordered, the gravel is in and on the roads, the sawdust is being delivered... there is a lot of work on the farm but it's all coming together nicely. There are still a few open registration slots for the $25 discount plus the offer expires Sept. 1, 2007.. better hurry! August 9, 2007 - We've had a few people ask about a blog so we set up a myspace account. Feel free to add us to your friends and spread the word!

August 5, 2007 - The event schedule is online and shows the times of the planned workshops, pony show, meals, etc... To view the calendar and select the event weekend for the schedule, CLICK HERE! I also received a review from Rennie Darling on his visit to the 2006 IPPC. You can read it here. July 28, 2007 - Registration is going along smoothly. Discounts are offered for loyalty (returning attendees), early registration and payment and a rebate for volunteer chores upon completion (info on the registration page). We have also worked out a possible shuttle service to those who may be flying into Duluth or to Minneapolis. Please be sure to mention this in your registration (comments section) and we will explain what we have set up to see if it works with your flight schedules. We hope to also have a discount rate for hotel rooms with AmericInn for those who do not want to tent camp or rent an RV. Yes, we have a local RV rental company that will rent you an RV trailer (sleeps 7-8) for around $400 for the event duration (the RV company requires a security deposit), etc... If you are interested in this, please let us know as well and we will send you that information too. July 24, 2007 - Discovered a problem in the registration form, repaired and tested at 3:00 PM CDT. If you registered prior to this or received an error message when you submitted the form, please do so again. We are working on the schedule for the pony show, workshops, and weekend. If you are interested, here is the Show Schedule from last year for reference but of course this will be changed and improved for this year!. July 23, 2007 - Registration is now online. Mistress Saskia from Denver has confirmed to attend and do a workshop for us. She has been doing these for a while and getting great reviews. You will find her personality to be humorous and a wonderful and experienced Female Dominant. She also teaches other females the art of Domination. I also talked with Mistress Golden who is now pretty sure she will make it to the event as well. She is also sending some of her dungeon equipment so the play space will be set up and top notch for the non pony play fun! July 18, 2007 - Menu and pricing is set for the event, registration page should be up and running soon as I can rework the script for the new servers.

Lady Tearanny has confirmed she will be attending with Jarrett and Lady Dru from No Limits Leather and Secret Limits in North Carolina and will be presenting a workshop/demo on Fire Play. She has been a human pony rider and trainer for over 10 years (she rode me back in the 90s). Karen Klein, also from North Carolina, is also confirmed to attend. Updated Photo Page with some of their photos. July 6, 2007 - I heard from my friend Lady Tearanny and she may be attending as well as doing a workshop on fireplay! More info when I have it confirmed. I also have a donation coming for the silent auction from the fabulous Heartwood Whips (thank you Lori!!). Also, there is a nice article in the Miami New Times paper about Foxy and SheriFox that revolves around pony play. (Read The Article), and a few small but nice photos of them (One, Two, & Three) June 22, 2007 - I am at Gwen's and we did a trail ride and a few photos. We are working on the tenting area and the showers this week, plus getting the tasks assigned to the staff.

I'll post the workshop info and such once I have all the final information. More to come!
