2) We Need YOU To Run Panels & Events!
FurFright’s Programming relies on talented, knowledgeable folks like YOU! If you have a skill or topic that you think would of interest to con-goers, please contact us about running a class, panel/lecture, discussion group, or social event at FurFright!
To register your class/panel/social visit: http://www.furfright.org/panel.htm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Plenty Of Rooms @ Our Nearby Overflow Hotels!
The main hotel (Crowne Plaza Cromwell) is sold out. BUT, our overflow hotels are open for business, so book your rooms NOW! For all hotel info visit: http://www.furfright.org/hotel.htm
***PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON OUR HOTEL INFO PAGE***
When making your reservations, please be sure to mention you’re booking for “FurFright” and make sure you get the discounted rates!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Don’t Wait To Pre-Register!
To honor our attendees’ wishes to preserve the size and character of the convention, and because of space/overcrowding concerns, FurFright hosts a maximum of 1500 attendees, so we urge you to pre-register soon to assure admission. It’s quick, easy, and you save money! You can still register at the convention, but once the limit is reached no more badges will be issued. If you pre-register online, you’re guaranteed a spot, so why wait?!
To Pre-Register, just go here: http://www.furfright.org/attendee_registration.htm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Get Your Act Together! (Masquerade)
Put an act together and be part of the show! No experience, fursuit, or talent needed! Win cheap prizes that’ll make your friends jealous! Flaunt your popularity with cheap plastic!
FurFright has a Masquerade/Talent Show thing that’s an embarrassment to the fandom, and we want YOU to be a part of it! So put together an act and hit the stage with us! It doesn't matter what your experience level is or if you have a fursuit or not, the whole point of our Masquerade is to have fun!
Acts will be judged by our esteemed panel of honorable judges (i.e hobos) and prizes will be awarded!
Space is limited, so register your act before the con!
