It's Salmon Days time again... back for our 4th straight year at this wonderful festival! Under the banner of Anthropaws, we had a great crew of 11 fursuiters perform and bring smiles, fun, furry cheer and great memories to many of the festival's estimated 180,000 attendees this year. This is public fursuiting at its best, and what we're all about! We even had a dad come up to us with his two young daughters and he said, "You guys are the reason I came!" :D
The first part of the video features our three teams entertaining kids at the Field of Fun, the giant kids' play area with inflatable amusements, pony/camel rides, vendor booths and tons of kids' activities, and the second part features footage from the Rainier Blvd. area which featured a main stage with live music acts playing throughout the day. The fursuiters had a blast dancing in front of the stage, and the crowded thoroughfare made for a nearly non-stop photo opportunity!
Although I didn't fursuit this time, I was responsible for organizing our appearance this year (due to a change in sponsor managing leadership at the festival, we ALMOST didn't get in!) and managing our very large team of 21 fursuiters, handlers and spotters. Overall the day went amazingly well and we got tons of positive feedback about our appearance.
