Anime Detour, the largest fandom convention in our region, is getting a new feature this year. Please help your very own MNFurs present a positive appearance to our 5000+ anime brothers and sisters who may also be furries without being aware of it.

Why would a furry want to come to Anime Detour?

First – A poolside side room party to do furry events, hang out with friends and talk with new comers.
Second – Panels that talk about anthro creatures in Japenese Culture and anime through art and costuming.
Third – A place to strut not only artwork through the artshow but also furry version of cosplay – fursuit, ears, and tails.
Fourth – A way to build relationships with other fandoms that share common interest with our own.

Sounds like fun? It is! And we hope you will joing MNFurs in going!

If you’re not already registered for the con, do so soon! This is a capped convention – once filled they close registration until 2013! So don’t wait preregistration is just $35 and goes up to $50 after New Years.

Two Pendants For Silent Auction At OMFG

Kurst Hyperyote — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:32:45 +0000

Join the forum discussion on this post

Two pendants have been donated to MNFurs as fundraisers for the general fund. Each will be silent auctioned off at registration until Saturday night, October 15th at 9:30PM.

The first pendant commemorates MNFurs first event earlier this year: Snowpocalpse 2011. It was handmade from copper by piercing the design into the sheet, stamped, and forged to its current shape. It is strung on a leather cord. Valued at $25. Bidding will start at $5.

The second pendant has the art from OMFG Party 2011. Again it is handmade by piercing the design into a copper sheet, and then fused to Argentium Silver. It is stamped, forged and brought to a high polish. The jump ring is Sterling Silver and is temporarily hung from a leather cord. Valued at $60. Bidding will start at $15.

The Auctions will conclude during the dance Saturday night on October 15th at 9:30PM. The winner with the highest bid needs to be onsite and make payment to MnFurs. If they are not able to meet the commitment, the person with the second highest bid will be contacted.

OMFG needs more volunteers

Kurst Hyperyote — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 04:31:53 +0000

We understand some of you have gone out of your way to help others join us at October Minnesota Furry Gathering. And for that we are eternally thankful, but we also need help at the event itself as well. The following areas still need help:

1. One or two people to help Winale load in and out DJ equipment (7pm – 8pm, 12pm – 1am)
2. A person to help Ridayah organize games and other social events.
3. Badgers!! We have three badging locations and the event is eleven hours that means twenty-six man hours of time (Geesh!). Any help would greatly relieve Kellic from trying to sit at all three stations badging at once!! =)

Please let us know by posting to http://www.mnfurs.org/forums/general-discussion-for-omfg-2011/official-volunteers-request-thread/ or asking at registration on the day of the event.
