The second meet in August, Sat August 20th we will be trying something new. We are going to be holding the meet at Emma Krumbees in Inver Grove Heights.

As with Angenos, this is a one shot event. We are trying a few new locations and seeing how well they work out for us; while Perkins is and likely will be our staple event for some time to come we’re offering this meet as an alternate venue to try something new.

The room we have reserved is bigger then the one we have at Perkins, and can accommodate a meet of our full crew comfortably with modular table arrangements. It is private from the rest of the restaurant and has direct access to an outdoor seating area.

As we get closer to the date we will be providing a menu with what will be available to our group and the specific details including maps.

So keep the date open and hope to see you guys there!

Where is this grand adventure happening at Trapp Farm Park – yes Trapp Farm Park in Eagan, MN will be the place for adventure this year. It’s a different location than last year so take some time before you go and check out the map on our MNFurs Spring Picnic page to get the best idea to get there.

If it rains there is nothing to worry about – At Trapp Farm Park MNFurs has the full shelter to continue the festivities at. This shelter is bigger than our past picnic location so it will be able to protect everyone from rain or sunshine.

For those of you that have fursuits – put on your best ears and tails because fursuitting is allowed at this spring picnic. Not only that, but this year’s picnic fursuit games will be hosted by Aerak. So get ready to suit up, put adventure in your heart and have some fun!

Food? Glad you mention it this year’s spring picnic food is done pot-luck style. Find more information, get ideas and discuss what to bring use the pot-luck forum post.

When does this all start? People can set sail to Eagan starting at 11AM. Don’t worry about being prompt the event goes on till 10PM. So take your time coming there and don’t worry there is plenty of space for you when you can come.

But why does the fun have to stop at 10PM? It doesn’t this year. Swing on by the Geek Partnership Society’s Geek Community Center at 10PM for MNFurs will have the space to keep the picnic fun. With games, food, and great company this is going to be a fun event that will last till the wee hours of night.

Never been to the Geek Community Center then go to our MNFurs Spring Picnic page and find what will be the best route to take.

But you might be saying to yourself “I don’t have a ride to the picnic” or “I would like to car pool to Geek Community Center” It’s not too late to go to our ride sharing forums and discuss how to get there.

I know too much excitement in one day – but trust me rain or shine just do whatever it takes to go to Trapp Farm Park and Geek Community Center and you will have a furry adventure of this springtime!
