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?: Yes due to the venues capacity limits

Fursuit Friendly?: Yes, feel free to bring your partial or full fursuits

    Is it too late to RSVP? I’m still working with my family to get a ride, so I didn’t know if I’d be busy or not. I’d also be there around 4-4:30 (I have to share a ride since my vehicle’s tires are shot). I’d be going as well as a plus 1. So sorry for the inconvenience!!!

    Hi Sawyer!

    The RSVP system closed last night due to my RSVP numbers getting close to the capped limit.  Throughout the meet some people may leave early or leave and come back later which COULD free up some space…That being said, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to get in.  I am going to recommend waiting for the next Oval meet, but if you do decide to show up, again, we cannot guarantee you can get in.

    Thank you!

    That’s okay 💜 thank you for your response. I was just waiting due to not having a ride, discussing it with my family, and checking in with others to see if they’d come. I’ll just have to sit out for this one then. Hopefully I’ll find another time!

    Yep you’re welcome!  I hope to have another Oval meet later in the year, but that is all going to be determined on the state of the pandemic.  The delta variants are not doing us any favors and foresee venues taking more restrictive measures if this variant continues to be a problem…Time will tell of course what happens.

    – PARKING AT THE OVAL –

     

    Hey there, Drake from the Events Department!  Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and wanted to quickly share parking.  See the screenshot below that shows where you need to park.

    DROPBOX LINK:  RIGHT HERE

    The entrance will have Skating Entrance above it with an immediate set of stairs going up and that is where you want to go.  The main entrance will bring you to the front desk for the outdoor rink and that is not where you want to go as it’s nowhere near our room.
