The Friendship Express
Through a humble message of companionship told through adorable candy coloured equines, many of us in this community have grown to appreciate each other more and more. Now, slowly but surely, let’s bring back what it really means to be friends.
As a local community we put our heads together to bring about a convention like no other. A two day event to celebrate the fandom and its diverse membership. We have spoken to podcasters, artists, musicians and active members alike about The Friendship Express and we are more than excited to have you reading this. We have many things coming up so stay locked onto this website for more details coming your way really soon!
Friendship is calling. Take a stand. Make your mark. Believe in magic. We’ll see you at The Friendship Express!
Believe in Magic
The planning of this convention has hit the ground running. The stage is set. We have a place and a time to make every move count, but we want to make it better.
That's where you come in. The Friendship Express wants your help to make it even better. For us, for you and for everypony attending!
We took a deep breath and a leap of faith though the mirror, and we have gotten hold of none other than Vincent Tong. Some of us know him as Donut Joe, other may see him as Prince Blueblood, but one thing we cannot deny is that he's the voice of Flash Sentry.
Some things in life are free, but to get Vincent to talk to us, we would need some help from you to make it happen! So help us raise this barn and hit our goal to make The Friendship Express more than just awesome. That's why we push ourselves further. That's why we want to go higher and most of all, that's why we Believe in magic!
We Want You!
