Hey there community members!
MNFurs is proud to announce the 10th Anniversary Fall Picnic! This year’s Fall Picnic is returning to Blackhawk Park in Eagan. Come join your fellow furs this October 1st from 11am to 8pm for food, outdoor games, and lots of fun. Our grillmasters are ready to cook up food that you bring to share.
Help support the MNFurs and the picnic by making a $15 donation to receive a limited edition 10th Anniversary badge, or by picking up some merchandise. We accept cash or credit/debit for both donations & merch.
While we’re still in a pandemic, we’re counting on individuals to decide what’s best for COVID protection practices for themselves. So, wear a mask if you’d like, but they’re not required. Vaccinations are not required but are strongly recommended.
Join us and RSVP to let your friends know you’re going by looking at the forum.
Want to perfect your famous recipe? Well you have time, let others know what you are bringing.
The picnic this year will be hosted by Yancha. If anyone has questions or wants to promote some sub-events at the picnic, use the handy-dandy contact form. Other MNFurs staff, board members, and convention staff will be on site too when/if questions arise!
We hope to see you at the Fall Picnic!
Join us for our monthly board meeting during our open sessions. Find out about everything we do as an organization, and maybe even find a way to bring your skills to our community. We start gathering at 6 pm, start our meetings promptly at 6:30 and run as long as we need them to. The end of our meetings sometimes needs to be closed to discuss confidential information, and we ask our guests to enjoy the rest of their evening as we finish.
Questions or new business for the board can be forwarded to secretary@mnfurs.org. This may be added to the meeting agenda as we feel appropriate.
Our meetings are a hybrid of in-person at Geek Partnership Society and Google Meet for those who cannot join us. Join with Google Meet; that link will go live between 6 and 6:30 pm.
Hello MNFurs, looking for a way to socialize on a Thursday evening? Come join Alli Coyote on Thursday, October 6th, for a casual walk around every floor of the nation’s largest mall.
Where to Meet: Meet at Barnes and Noble on the 1st floor.
Cost: Free, the cost of Food at Food Court is $7-15 for those who wish to join for Dinner.
RSVP?: Yes, because then others can see who is going!
Fursuit Friendly?: No, please leave fursuits at home. Mall of America has a strict policy against full body suits and full face coverings.
The MNFurs West Metro Meet happens on the 2nd and 5th Saturdays of every month at Perkins Family Restaurant of Hopkins.
Come meet up at Canal Park in Duluth for a public fursuit romp in front of beautiful Lake Superior, and the iconic Duluth Lift Bridge! We will be meeting near the boat museum field. Fursuit not required, just come hang out and have fun!
Cost: $5 parking fee
RSVP?: Yes, so we can know how many to expect!
Fursuit Friendly?: Yes
Notes: As weather in the area is unpredictable, a backup plan is to meet at the Miller Hill Mall in Duluth. Fursuiting at the mall is not allowed, but tails are welcome.
Hello MNFurs community members! Are you big into video games? Well you are in luck! Come out and join MNFurs for a Saturday of playing video games and chilling with your fellow furries at the ESports Arena in Stillwater/Oak Park Heights. Like our last eSports event, this will be an 18+ event.
Where to Meet: Join us inside the E-Sports Arena, which is located right inside the Grocery entrance to Walmart.
Cost: $20 for all night rental of venue provided computers.
Notes: Food and drinks are allowed in the venue but please keep them away from any rented computer equipment. In addition to the MNFurs code of conduct, everyone attending will need to agree to a posted Privacy Waiver posted at the venue. As a reminder this is an 18+ event. Feel free to bring your own games, such as portable game consoles (Like a Nintendo Switch or a SteamDeck), or bring a board game or card game!
RSVP? Yes, so we have an idea who is going to attend. There is a finite amount of space at the venue but we’ll have a reserved row of computers in the back for those who want to do LAN gaming.
Fursuit Friendly?: We have permission from management of the E-Sports Arena for fursuits inside the Venue Space Only. The rest of Walmart is off limits for Fursuiting. If you do decide to fursuit a partial suit is recommended and you must change and stay inside the venue space at all times. Do not walk through Walmart from the entrance to the venue wearing a fursuit nor use the Walmart Restrooms for changing.
Come camping out for a night and get away from all the hustle and bustle of the cities. You may be able to see the stars and howl at the moon.

Bring some delicious food for the campfire and enjoy the great outdoors. Less than 10 minutes from the freeway.
RSVP?: Yes, so we know who is going.
