MNFurs Volunteers for ZooBoo at Como Park

[Unico]

That is kind of sad when a person volunteers to help with an event that happens only on a specific month and then bails out on it for something that happens every 2 weeks.  I will never understand some choices.  *Shrugs* In other news, looking forward to seeing who all is going to be there tonight for the fun and frolic, hopefully my legs won’t be hurting tomorrow like they did last week from doing this.  *laughs*

So far I know of Ringer, Birk, Kels, Tek, Tally (Bryan B), Ferric Fox, MoonBlaze, Happen Stance, Zepaw in Blue’s suit, & I think Kurst.  =)

I might…MIGHT be suiting tonight too.  This depends on the handler situation since Rascle opted out.

I’ll be there tonight as well! 

[Zepaw]

I won’t make it this weekend. I woke up inexplicably sore this morning and standing for hours is not an option for me today. Gonna rest at home and hope it passes. Thank you all contributing, hope you have a blast like it always is! Kurst and Drake will be there if you need to communicate with the organization about a need or such.

I feel bad but I have been helping out all the other days and mostly felt like taking a break. I will have done every day but today. I was seriously debating on it for days but this is what I decided upon and I cant go back now. So I am sorry and hope you wont think less of me. I still hope everyone will have tons of fun .

It’s an understandable feeling and I still appreciate the time you are putting in but realize by backing out so last minute you did put us in a pinch. Someone who would have suited otherwise handled in your place.

[Unico]

I don’t think less of you Rascal But if you get overwhelmed and feel the need to back out, don’t go for so many days so you have some breathing room and recovery time, as Zepaw already pointed out you did put us in a slight pinch as Drake was our only handler due to things since Zepaw couldn’t make it due to being out of sorts. It was a blast overall though and i think we had the lead for the event laughing when we were dancing to the Addams Family theme as she came to dismiss us for the night.

I’ll be suiting tomorrow (Sunday) but if you need a handler I can always go uncostumed.

Given how I was the only handler for 10+ suiters, everything still went good from what I saw…No major issues with anyone.  I kept up as best as I could when I knew of suiters going in and checked up on them.  I also walked back and forth between both of our areas on an almost constant basis.  Either way, I was having fun.  =)

Yes, that was hilarious when one of the staff was dancing along…In fact, from the times I was walking to and from, I noticed a lot of dancing.  =p

Pepper, let’s talk tonight about this…Zepaw will not be able to attend tonight so I plan to help coordinate like last night.  It has been confirmed that Rascle will be there tonight to handle…Not sure of who else so that will be figured out in time.

In my limited experience we seem to do pretty decently with a minimal amount of handling! Drake, you did a great job keeping tabs on things last night, so thanks for your help.

See you guys this afternoon, and let’s plan to get dinner nearby (~Roseville area) afterwards!

[Drake M.]

True, most suiters are able to handle themselves as they know their limits.  Handlers are still necessary though and since it’s Como’s event, it is a requirement.

Not a problem at all, Ringer!  =)

Hmm…For dinner, I will throw in the idea of Old Chicago which is in that mall area by Kyoto.

Thank you everybody that came out to ZooBoo to make it fun!

Another year down and more to come.  Yesterday went well and many Como Park staff enjoyed all of what we provided.

Thanks to all volunteers who dedicated their time to come out to suit and/or handle.

Let’s also thank Zepaw for being in charge of scheduling on behalf of our group.  =)

Many pics from ZooBoo are up on my FA and many more to come!
