MNFurs at Como Zoo’s 2014 ZooBoo – Updated

It’s almost that time of year again! Como Zoo is gearing up for their annual ZooBoo event, and so are we – this is a great opportunity for MNFurs to contribute to the community and have fun doing it!

If you’re not familiar, ZooBoo offers a way for younger children to experience Halloween by providing a safe and less scary alternative to traditional trick-or-treating. All proceeds benefit the Como Zoo and Conservatory.

Here are the dates (plan on arriving by 4pm and staying until 9pm).

Saturday, October 18
Sunday, October 19

Friday, October 24
Saturday, October 25
Sunday, October 26

For those who have participated in the past, please note that in the interest of furthering our relationship with the folks at Como, we’ll be handling the organization of the event a bit differently this year. We are handling registration for Como Zooboo and if you want to join sign up at [removed – registration is now closed]. Both fursuiters and handlers will be needed!

If you’re planning to attend or have any questions, don’t hesitate to let us know.

    I am going to be working for Como directly as a staff Photographer for the last two nights (Sat and Sunday). It was very last minute arrangement but they did need the help.

    I will be taking photos around the entire event – not just MNFurs group. But I’m sure I’ll be visiting the MNFurs stations plenty 🙂

    May be taking off early the first night but I will be there till at least around Dusk.

    I had another GREAT time with you all, but I have to say, I was saddened by the negative talk about one of the group members who was not there this weekend. I don’t know what was behind it… and really don’t want to.

    I have been telling my friends about how nice it is to be with a group of people who are not disrespectful of others behind their backs. How are kind and not mean-spirited. This weekend I saw what I didn’t want to see and felt what I had felt so often during my life — a form (IMHO) of bullying!

    When you have a grievance with a person — talk it though with that person and leave the rest of us out of it. It really has only caused me to view some of you with less respect and affection.

    Those of you who don’t know what I am referring to — you don’t need to… those who know, please do me the favor of reframing from this kind of behavior around me in the future. It hurts me. I have been treating unkindly by many people throughout my life and I do not want to hear this kind of treatment of another person.

    If I sound a bit like a mom — it’s because I am!! If I sound like I am OLD — it’s because I am!!! And honestly — I disliked and been repelled by this kind of behavior for a long time before I accomplished either of these milestones.

    I get a lot of flack people when they find out I am a “person of Faith,” because they are so upset by the mean-spirited hypocrites who attended churches. Yes, they do exist — but it is not all of us… anymore than it is all the fursuiters speaking in mean-spirted way about others.

    So next time you want to disrespect someone — look in the mirror and see if you are perfect — if you aren’t… then maybe it would be better to keep those conversations to a “closed groups” or even better to yourself!

    I think you are a GREAT bunch of people!! And I hope you will not be talking smack behind my back now! 😉

    And thus concludes another year of ZooBoo! Thank you to everyone who made time to volunteer, and we hope to see you all (and more) again next year!

    Como will be sending out volunteer surveys, so if you have general comments on the event (like music suggestions) you’ll be able to provide feedback that way. If you have any group-specific feedback, please let me know. I have a general sense of what worked and what didn’t and I’ll be doing my best to pass that on.

    Thanks again!
