Hello MNFurs!
It’s been a few years since we’ve participated in the St. Paul Winter Carnival parade and we thought this year would be a great opportunity to start once again. But first, we want you, the community, to tell us whether this is an opportunity you wish to participate in. This is an event open to suiters and non suiters alike, and consists of a 1-mile walk down the streets of St. Paul. It will be on Saturday, January 25th from 2PM to 4PM (with more time outdoors for prep and set up), and is a great chance to interact with the public. If you are interested, please let us know in the comments below ASAP. We will have more details once it is confirmed that we will be participating. Thank you!
Here is a link to the St. Paul Winter Carnival website for more information!
UPDATE (01/09/2020):
Hello, everyone, sorry for the long wait but we finally have an update regarding the parade. As we did more investigation as to what is necessary to make this event happen, we found that participating in the parade and making all necessary arrangements is going to cost a lot more money than we expected. Therefore, we are unfortunately going to have to cancel this event. We would like to participate in this event in the future, given how much interest there was from everyone, and are looking into alternatives as to how to make it happen for 2021. Thank you for your interest!- This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Wintermane.

Any word on winter carnival shenanigans?Hey! Unfortunately due to some financial restrictions we are going to be unable to participate in the Winter Carnival this year. There is an update attached to the original post. We have some good ideas on how to manage things for next year though!Hey, what would costs be to register for the parade? I took a quick peek but wasn’t sure what our group would be considered as or categorized as. I’m definitely willing to help with costs, still want to see this happen!"The greatest value comes from loving yourself for who you are" ~Lindsey Stirling
The registration cost is not too much of a concern- the much bigger issue is the fact that we would need a place to change into and out of fursuit, plus address the fact that after the parade is over, need to find some way to get back to the parade’s start (and parade routes change year after year). Getting a place to change into and out of fursuit was going to cost us a lot more money than we expected which is why we decided to not participate this year. However, we will take into account the fact that there was a lot of interest this year, and the willingness of some community members to help cover costs for 2021 and hopefully come up with a much better plan so we can participate next year.Never be average...- myself
