Hey there MNFurs community!
Summer is winding down and the Fall season will soon be taking over. We look forward to seeing many of you at our next Oval Meet as we all get together and have fun. Like our past Oval Meets, these are big social gatherings where you can hangout, socialize, & have opportunities to talk to both MNFurs, FM, and MidWinterFrolic staff. Community members are welcome to bring in card/tabletop/board games, fursuits (partials & full), and artwork. Other activities are outlined below…
– Art trades/commissions
– Fursuit making activities (ex. Duct tape dummy)
– Fursuit photoshoots
Plus more…
On an important note…With the pandemic still going on, we have some important updates on attending the Oval Meet. All attendees who RSVP and have any +1’s will be REQUIRED to bring their vaccination card or proof of a negative from the past 72 hours. This decision was made due to many people in an indoor space for a long duration of time and other seasonal illnesses in the air alongside COVID-19.
Cost: Free, but donations are greatly appreciated!
RSVP?: Yes, due to the venues capacity limits

About Minnesota Furs
Minnesota Furs is dedicated to building a safe community and providing educational opportunities for furs everywhere, but focused centrally in Minnesota. This includes providing regular meetings for members and supporting parties to gather together, educational experiences covering a variety of topics, volunteer chances to help support interests that are in line with the interests of many furs, and a chance to help show the positive and unique aspects of furry culture.
Social gatherings include events like furry bowling, fursuit romps, bi-weekly meetups at a few different locations, twice yearly picnics in the spring and fall, and several other community-led events. Educational endeavors have been expanding to include a new scholarship program, plans for a mentorship program, regular panels and discussions about a variety of skills both useful to general furs and about ways to express the unique talent and abilities of furs. Volunteering is also a huge part of the Minnesota Furs mission, assisting at many large events throughout the year, especially Como Zoo’s ZooBoo event.
The members of Minnesota Furs have a broad ranging skill set from event organization, negotiation, publications, business endeavors, and organizational skills. The non-profit hopes to help grow these skills both on a personal level and a community level to improve existing efforts and expand into new ways, providing a chance for the betterment of all. Minnesota Furs is dedicated to a vision of the future where furs are just another facet of life for local communities, assisting and spreading its message and support throughout Minnesota, and beyond.
