Welcome to Furtastic Returns, the one and only Danish convention for the members of the furry fandom all around the world!
First off, we would like to thank all the wonderful furry critters that joined us at last year’s Furtastic: The Beginning! We are all, here at the team of Furtastic, happy that you helped to start off and create this convention! We hope that everyone had a wonderful time, and that you will join us for this 2.nd edition of Furtastic!
If you’re new to Furtastic, do not fret! We are an open family and hopefully we will only get bigger this year! The whole idea behind the convention is simple: We like close knit furmeets, where everyone can get to know new people, and everyone can get to experience everything they want and not be left out! So we want a big furmeet with a lot of people, while keeping it at just the right size to still keep the atmosphere. This just happens to be called a convention.
We have some things happening this year, which will hopefully spark the interest of all of you wonderful people! Last year, we left it to people to have fun and everyone enjoyed it immensely, but some felt that it would be great to have some planned events. So that’s what we’ll have!
So far we have 2 arranged events that will take place.
First is an art auction: This isn’t some auction where you will sit down and some guy will stand and shout numbers from a stand. This is an auction that will be throughout the convention. Art from wonderful people will be put on the walls all around the Furtastic main convention house and you will, throughout the convention be able to write your bids on a single note block placed at the center of the main room.
Second is a story teller evening: We have a huge fireplace outside that should be able to house ALL of the convention! This means that the great outdoors is going to be home to an evening of stories from the minds of the great writers that attend the convention! The writers can stand in front of the fireplace and tell their engaging tales, or deep poems, while at the edge of the fireplace, people can sit and talk in between themselves, while listening to the story. For the evening, the bar itself will move outside as well, so everyone will be able to get refreshments during the event!
We still have room for at least one more event, so feel free to write to either Shiro the Booze husky or me, about what you feel would be a great addition to the convention!
As a new thing, the convention will run from Thursday to Sunday with the possibility to add late departure. This was a request by people, and we at the staff can understand the idea behind it. This will allow everyone to meet up on the same day, and get a feel for each other.
