We'll be away at the fair from 9/28 - 10/11. Online orders placed after noon EDT on Sept 30 through Oct 11 will be shipped when we return. It may take a few days for us to catch up with all the orders; thank you for your patience. There will also be delays in answering emails and messages since I'll be running our store at the fair all day, every day.
While we're at the fair, we'll be removing some current-production models from inventory to prevent someone from ordering one online at the same time someone is buying it at the fair. We will restock our website and our store on our return. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you're in northern New England, we hope you'll visit us at the Fryeburg Fair from 10/2 - 10/9! Otherwise, we'll catch up with you after we return.
Our Triple Mountain store in Hiram, Maine, will be closed from 10/2 - 10/9, including both of those dates.
As long as we return from the fair healthy, we'll reopen the store on 10/16.
Coming to the fair?
During the fair, we'll have special guests that you can meet and talk models with:
Sun 10/2 & Mon 10/3: Julia Nichols, owner of Copperfox Model Horses
Julia will be joining us both days to talk models, hear your ideas for new molds, and maybe, just maybe, she'll bring some sneak peeks with her! We will also have Copperfox jewelry available for sale while supplies last.
Tues 10/1: Kayla Lovejoy, professional model customizer
Kayla will talk about customizing models in a variety of styles and may demo customize models right here in our booth. Visit with her to learn which models are good/not-so-good to customize, what types of paint and sculpting material she prefers, and different styles of customs that are popular today.
Wed 10/2: Holly Conner, professional model horse sculptor
Holly will bring some of her own micro sculpts as well as some micro minis by other artists that she has custom painted. These will be for sale! She'll also welcome questions about sculpting and have a portfolio showing some of her current and past work for you to enjoy.
ALSO Wed 10/2 - For a few hours today we'll have special guest Rhion Magee from Breyer!
Rhion is Head of Creative for Breyer - She helps choose and design packaging and other things. She will be looking for your questions and feedback. This is a rare opportunity for all of us. Feel free to bring pictures of your collection to show off! Please make this a great experience for her.
Thurs 10/3: Kayla Lovejoy, professional model customizer
Kayla will talk about customizing models in a variety of styles and may demo customize models right here in our booth. Visit with her to learn which models are good/not-so-good to customize, what types of paint and sculpting material she prefers, and different styles of customs that are popular today.
Fri 10/8 and Sat 10/9: Jan Moniz, Breyer Sales Representative
Jan will join us again this year to talk models and answer questions you have about Breyer and CollectA models. She loves seeing photos of your collection.
Schedule subject to change. We hope each special guest will be here from 10am - 6pm, although some may arrive even earlier and/or stay later. (Except Rhion who will be here just a few hours, probably 9-noon). Come meet these great ladies and talk horses with us!
Our booth is easy to find: If you come in the Main Gate, look about 45 degrees to your left, and you'll see the Expo Center building. If you look through the open doorway, you'll see Breyer boxes! The Expo Center is open 9am - 9pm each day of the fair, and I'll be at the booth all week. We'll have current Breyer, CollectA, Safari, and Schleich horses and animals, including farm animals, wild animals, and even some dragons and dinos with us!
