“ Bonjour, Goedendag and Hola!  
this time we wont talk about us, but our European partner conventions within the “EPCU (European Pony Convention Union)”:ponycon.org , which will take place in 2015. The first two will have a booth at GalaCon, the third one is still in its early preparations, but is still shaping up to be an event you should not miss.
 
 
BRONY DAYS Frenchip is Magic is a weird but fitting pun for our relationship to this event. The French convention uncovered M. A. Larsons darkest secrets and gave all vistors an unforgetable time in 2013. For 2015 they will return in spring to make the city of love the city of pony. Their mascot Mdm. Banane is very unique, very French, and all around lovable.
 
 
HEARTHS WARMING CON Winter conventions are pretty rare, so give our Dutch friends a bit of support on their IndieGoGo. In the lovely town of Hoofd(d)rop not only fans of the newest generation are welcome, but every generation of colourful horse fans. Needless to say that a special friendship exists between Canni and their mascot Ember - we simply love Dutch food, like hagelslag, drop and pannekoek.
 
 
SUMMER WRAP UP FESTIVAL While escaping from the harsh rain or the cold Scandinavian weather, your typical European goes to Spain, especially in Summer and next Summer our Madrid friends from IberBronies will wrap up the Summer like every good pony should. So if you are in need of pony fun under the sun, look forward to a summer in Spain and enjoy Maredrids hospitality just as Canni will.
 
 
So, look forward to meet them over at GalaCon, and dont forget our other EPCU partners BUCK, Crystal Fair, BronyScot and Czequestria!
 
 
All the best,
 
 
Your GalaCon-Team
