Time for a Reveal!

We hope all our BreyerFest Blog readers had an enjoyable weekend. Were you able to guess our clue?

When the Events Team discovered this niche snack food of yore, we knew we just HAD to name a BreyerFest model in honor of this delightful, donkey-driven confection.

 

 

In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Peanutine was a treat that was unique to the shores of Old Orchard Beach in Maine and sold to customers via a peanut-shaped wagon pulled by a tandem of donkeys. The recipe is simple and can be found here, and while there is little known about how many of these adorable wagons were made, their legacy lives on through beautiful postcards that have been preserved.

 

 

To pay tribute to this adorably odd piece of driving history, our Peanutine model has been done as a handsome dark brown spotted donkey on Brighty, mold #375, sculpted by the iconic Chris Hess.

 

 

This Special Run model will be available to VIP and All-Access Ticket holders and will make a great addition to your Brighty conga!  We will see you right back here on the BreyerFest Blog tomorrow for more!

SOLD! Getting BreyeFest All-Access tickets on Day 1. I sure wish they still offered the online VIP tickets, since I can’t make it in person.

Tennessee Titan’s little brother. This one unfortunately will be at the bottom of my wish list. Too bad because I do like the donkey molds.

Lea Robinson, Not everyone knows or has someone interested in the hobby to just run to Kentucky and pick up model horses for them. There are people like myself that have no one and no possible way to get there due to health problems and a rational fear of crowds since pandemic. If I am understanding what I read I believe online all access ticket holders can purchase one special run model this year. Your comment sounded like you think everyone is entitled enough to just have that conveinience of someone to go shopping for them who is also a breyer collector. I don’t know anyone and don’t trust a stranger to go. I also can not pay even more money to the person who would be picking them up.

And just like that… I decided I’m going to Kentucky in July…

OMG OMG OMG!!! Ive never been a fan of donkeys but this guy is TOO CUTE!! Breyer you are doing an EPIC job on all these models! Omg!

For everyone complaining that they can’t buy all the models because they’re not traveling to KY for BF…YOU CAN by simply buying an All Access ticket & passing it along to a friend who’s going or to a pick-up person.
That’s the way it was done for 30 yrs before Breyer started having a virtual BF. It worked then & it will work now. People who can’t attend are not being denied access to all the models. Just buy a VIP or All Access ticket & arrange for someone who’s going to pick up the models. It’s not that difficult.
