After a fantastic experience performing at the wonderful Issaquah Salmon Days Festival in 2010, our local community fursuiting group Anthropaws was invited back as "Ohfishal" entertainment for the 2011 event, which was very appropriately themed "Wild Things." These videos feature highlights from last weekend's fursuiting action at the Salmon Hatchery, Field of Fun Kid's area and Rock This Way Blvd on the festival grounds.

I was in charge of assembling a great crew of fursuit performers and handlers for this, and while we did run short-handed both days due to people backing out or not showing up, we made it work and everyone had an awesome time.

This is what public fursuiting is about, getting out there and putting smiles on people's faces and bringing joy to kids and kids at heart!

Thanks to all our handlers as well for helping out, and Ithabise for his instrumental role with Anthropaws in getting us back in the festival and doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes work.
