It’s back! Oval meets are a thing again.

Hey there MNFurs community! It has been a long time since we all got together at the Oval to hang out. With the pandemic settling down a bit and restrictions lifted, we are able to get the meets started up for our community again. Towards the end of July we will be hosting our first Oval fur meet of 2021.

An important note

The Oval is currently operating at a 75% capacity so this will be a capped event and we will be using our RSVP system and have staff and board members assisting on site with people coming in and going out.

Next up, we plan to have door greeters at both entrances into our reserved room. We will have signage at each door as we want people to enter in one door and then out the other.

Lastly, we are heavily encouraging those attending who are not fully vaccinated to wear a mask at the Oval around others…Face masks will be available on site!

What to expect at the meet

The Oval meets are a big social gathering where you can get together with your friends and hang out with a big space to spread out.  Community members are welcome to bring in card/tabletop/board games, fursuits (partials & full), and artwork. Other activities are outlined below…

  • Art trades/commissions
  • Fursuit making activities (ex. Duct tape dummy)
  • Fursuit photoshoots
  • Plus more…

At the Oval, we are also allowed to bring in our own food and beverage items. Potluck-style items are acceptable to share for people attending.  All are welcome to bring in their own beverages too for themselves and to share. Please remember that NO alcoholic beverages are allowed at the Oval.

Date: July 25, 2021

Time: 3:00pm-8:00

Location: Guidant John Rose MN Oval at Skating Center Entrance – 2661 Civic Centre Dr, Roseville, MN 55113

Cost: Free, but donations are appreciated!

    – RSVP UPDATES + CHECKING IN AT THE OVAL FUR MEET –

     

    Good afternoon, your Events fox here!  With the RSVP list as well as people sharing +1’s or more, we are hitting the low 80’s for attendance.  Throughout the upcoming week I am going to be monitoring it closely.  When/if our RSVP list hits 125 or close to that number, then I am going to have our RSVP system close.  With that I have some quick highlights below…

     

    IF RSVP CLOSES BEFORE SUNDAY – Any and all people who RSVP’d with +1’s or more, please show up on Sunday so you can be checked in.

    IF RSVP IS OPEN ON SUNDAY – Any and all people who RSVP’s with +1’s or more will be checked in.  For anyone showing up day of who did not RSVP will need to wait while everyone else is checked in first for fairness

    IF WE CLOSE RSVP’s + OTHER WALK-INS DURING SUNDAY – In the event we have to close our RSVP system with walk-ins during Sunday, we will tell those that we are at capacity and that we cannot permit you to enter…As a reminder, the Oval is still operating at a lower capacity due to the still ongoing pandemic and we need to abide by those rules of the venue.

     

    * * * * * * * * * *

     

    Below is information on how to check in when you arrive at the Oval on Sunday!

     

    – Walk up the small flight of stairs at the Skating Center entrance

    – Directly to the right is a set of doors that will be open and one door will have signage on it saying ENTER or ENTER HERE

    – A table will be setup where myself (possibly more) will be stationed

    – Present us with your name as it is displayed on the forums here (ex. I am Drake M here) and if you have a +1 or more

    – We will check your name off the printed RSVP list

    – You will be handed a blue ticket and please keep it on you and do not lose it.  If you have to leave a for a bit and come back, you will need to present your ticket to us

     

    SANITATION STATION – We will have a table next to where you check in with hand sanitizer, face masks, & gloves for those that want to utilize.

    For further questions on this, please post here and/or email [email protected]

    Thank you!

     

    ~ Drake M.

    – LAST CALL + MORE IMPORTANT UPDATES –

     

    Hi there, your Events fox here with a couple more important updates!

    Currently my estimate close to number for confirmed yes RSVP’s is 89 attending.  This is now your last call so any of you currently marked as maybe in the RSVP list will need to make a final decision on whether or not you are attending…If so, then change your RSVP status from maybe to yes.  The RSVP system is closing Friday night or earlier depending on where my numbers go from here.

    ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS YOUR LAST CALL!

     

    * * * * * * * * * *

     

    When you check in with us at the Oval, please follow the below steps as I am fine-tuning this more…

     

    – Provide me with your name as it appears here on the forums.  This is your name below your avatar (or profile picture)…For example, on here my name is Drake M.  Do NOT give me another name other than the one listed here as it will not be on my downloaded RSVP list to check you off.

    – Provide me with information on bringing a +1 or more with you if you specified this in a forum post

     

    Please do not hesitate to post here or email [email protected] with additional questions/concerns!

    Thank you!

     

    ~ Drake M.

    Hey Drake, just making sure, did you include the 2 folks I said in the discord’s #events tab? I pinged you back when I initially said it, but IDK if that made it to the attendance calculations….
