Strange enough this all began when I saw a random post about Eufuria Mini-Con which takes place July 22 in Troy, NY Wanting to smaller fur cons and events, I decided to contact them.
I’m Visaj, my pronouns are she, her. I’m Co-Founder and Board Member of Cafe Euphoria, a transgender and non-binary restaurant in Troy NY. At my restaurant we host monthly furmeets and next month will be the first annual furry convention, Eufuria Mini-Con.
Furry Times: What events do you have planned?
Eufuria Mini-Con: Opening and closing ceremonies. A con merch shop. Gaming area. Dealer’s den. Dance hall. We have confirmed five panels and have the capacity to add three or four more. The restaurant will be making food to order throughout.
Furry Times: Since I don’t know much about the Furry Scene in Troy, NY or the restaurant where it’s being held could you fill me in
Eufuria Mini-Con: Anthrocon, one of the largest furry conventions in the world, started right here in Albany. It’s a 15 minute drive from Albany to Troy, where we’re hosting Eufuria Mini-Con. The fandom in the area is sizable enough that there are events twice a month, every month. The furmeet at Cafe Euphoria, which I host, is the Second Friday of the month. The other local furmeet, hosted by HayPanda, varies in topic like a furbowl or a BBQ and it is the last Sunday of the month.
