AnthrOhio is growing at an exponential rate, which means we need even more staff to help create unforgettable memories for our attendees!

We have many positions that are currently open. Even if you don’t see a position you are interested in, you are still welcome to submit an application.

Being on staff at a convention is a great way to meet and connect with new people. It can be a very rewarding experience.

Date: July 26th, 2025
Time: 9am-11am

We invite all the car furs for our 4th Annual AnthrOhio Car Show! Since our new convention venue put the brakes on us having a car show, we’re shifting gears and providing you with a separate event!

Our new Car Show will be in the style of “Cars & Coffee,” (or “Cars & Cof-furry” for those that enjoy these car puns). We will provide donuts and hot coffee with all the fixin’s (while they last). We will also provide canopies in case the sun gets a little too bright.

Attendees are also permitted to use the available charcoal grills if they wish to bring food to cook.

Anyone is welcome to join the Car Show with whatever type of car you are most proud of.

Fursuiting is allowed and encouraged.

This event is open to all ages.
