Hello everyone!
For over a decade we have been running bi-weekly furmeets, and for a majority of that time, our meets have been held at the Perkins Family Restaurant in Hopkins. Unfortunately, there have been several limitations to the space that we’ve had to adapt to; the biggest one being that we have long outgrown that space. Our community has spilled over to the Caribou Coffee across the street, to an Applebee’s down the road, and to a few other places as well.
For many of us in the community, it has always been our dream to find a facility that would function two-fold. A place that allows us to house the community under one roof, and to be able to enjoy the various aspects of furry, such as art and costuming, without the limitations of the businesses we have so far frequented. We’re writing to you now to inform you, that after an exhaustive search over the years, we have finally done it.
We have found a new home!
If you have been to our recent Holiday Parties, then you already know the place! The Guidant John Rose Minnesota Oval in Roseville will be the new site of the MNFurs Primary Furmeets! These meetings will be the main events for our local furry fandom and will take place once a month, with smaller regional meets, such as the Hopkins Perkins, taking place in between. The Oval is fursuit and artist friendly! It has plenty of room for professional photography setups with backdrops and lighting, and it is also located in the core of the Twin Cities!
Sustaining this new venue depends on you! The space is not free. Our convention, Furry Migration, has generously covered the cost of the first furmeet, but staying there will require your support. There will be a donation jar with a suggested minimum donation of $5. We will also have t-shirts and other MNFurs merchandise available for sale.
Please talk to your friends and help us get the word out! We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
Also, look for another announcement soon and the calendar about the new and up and coming regional furmeets.
