Then Saturday, we have the picnic proper at hidden falls park from 11AM to 10PM. Enjoy a classic MNFurs outdoor cookout full of fun and games with your old and new friends.

The MNFurs Picnic is a potluck and to make sure we don’t have 80 bags of chips please join in the food coordination discussion. For the picnic events planning and discussion read more in the MNFurs Forums.


To top it all off, after the picnic Saturday starting at 10PM we have “MNFurs 2011 Fall Picnic – Furs After Dark” back at the Event Horizon Center. This will be our first 18+ event where we have a DJ and dance as well as a place where we can share all the art until 1AM. For more details visit MNFurs 2011 Fall Picnic – Furs After Dark web page. Feel free to join the discussion forum discussions and to learn more about the Furs After Dark Art Event check out this forum post.


So if you are traveling just 10 miles or 100 miles, or have to work odd hours that weekend, we have plenty of opportunities and reasons to come visit us as we rap up summer with the MNFurs Fall 2011 picnic, “Basking in the Sun”

MNFurs is looking for participants for two other events during this holiday season.

Como ZooBoo

Anoka Halloween Grand Day Parade

For both of these events we need to get a count of who wants to participate and how they wish to participate.  This will help us plan and keep in communication with those interested.  It will also inform us on what other resources we need to make both of these events a success.

If you are interested in either of these event or future events with costuming/suiting please email fursuiting@mnfurs.org.

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!

This is a bigger venue than Perkins perfect for the busy Memorial Day weekend meet.

There is a flat $10 fee for this event collected by Angeno’s themselves. This includes a full pizza buffet, salad bar, and most importantly SELF SERVICE DRINKS. Again, if you go you to this event you have to pay.

For more details, address, and discussion visit our forum post about the event.

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!

After much searching the Twin Cities we have found this year’s new home for the spring picnic. And we do think it’s a place that everyone should enjoy. The Spring picnic will be at Trapp Farm Park in Eagan on May 14th.

Starting after 11AM – MNFurs Spring Picnic at Trapp Farm Park in Eagan will get going bringing old familiar faces and games into a new location, with new people, and new adventures.

However, that’s not all. We are going to be adding something new to the mix this year in addition to the new location. Pretty consistently after every picnic there are more than a few people who really don’t want to stop the fun. Hey. Who are we to argue? So with that in mind when dusk falls and the picnic ends the fun will shift and continue at 10PM over to the Geek Community Center over in Minneapolis where we will continue the fun until 1AM or until people start passing out, whichever comes first. However if you pass out we reserve the right to draw on you and mock you mercilessly. Mwahahaha.

For maps and additional details about the Spring Picnic and the after picnic event please head over to our Spring Picnic Page or talk about it in our MNFurs Forums.

Reserve the day May 14th for this annual MNFurs event.

More details and a more formal announcement will be coming soon.
