More to come when available

If the booking link takes you anywhere other than a http:// furfest. org or http:// passkey. com domain, we urge you to use extreme caution before providing personal information or credit card information. (2/2)

Who then posted the following statement

To be clear: being chosen to chair Midwest FurFest again is an honor and a challenge I gladly accept. We have an amazing team of smart, capable volunteers who work hard every single day of the year to prepare for the convention.

With 450+ people on staff, chair is a CEO/COO role these days, coordinating different parts of the org and making sure everyone has the tools and resources they need to succeed. I couldn’t do this without my vice chairs: @ramalion @WoodyMutt @theome @NallTWD and @hinopup

With this said about volunteers

I know the “condolences” are offered in good humor, but fostering the idea that volunteering for cons is a burden to be avoided is how you make sure nobody volunteers and there are no cons. Volunteer if you find it fun and fulfilling. At the very least encourage others to help.

MFF finally posted a list of the Dealers that will be at MFF 2022. Usually this would not be a big deal except for their number… If I counted right it’s 254 Dealers

Like usual there are plenty to go around but here are ones I think are worth checking out

Awoo Comic, Books and potentially other small merchandise, such as stickers

CAMP HOWL; sells a variety of brightly colored apparel, including shirts, hoodies, and bandanas. They also sell accessories, including fanny packs, wallets, bracelets, lanyards, keychains, enamel pins, and more!

Dr. Wildlife, Zoologist focused on saving endangered species through creative solutions. Offering wildlife illustrations, one-of-a-kind pawprint casts & paintings, and nerdy apparel meant to inspire a deeper connection to nature. One-on-one career counseling and tutoring sessions will be available for sign-up as well as information regarding educational class offerings on Twitch.

NomadiCon – Nashville’s 18+ furry con!; We are a new furry/anime/pup/etc convention coming to Nashville. It’s adults-only, designed to break the mold from different events. We do not sell products at the table. It will be interesting to see what they have to offer.

Wooperworks; offer commissions finished at-con (including regular badges, sushi badges, googly-eye badges, and boba tea badges) as well as prints, stickers, buttons, and charms. Common themes include cute animals, Pokemon, sushi, and Egyptian mythology!

Those are just a few stand out for me

We would like to welcome The Street Dog Coalition as our official charity for Midwest FurFest 2022! Learn how they help pets of those experiencing homelessness and how you can donate to this year’s charity auctions:

A few MFF Board members mentioned this was a hard sell. But to me it is an easy choice, mainly because during my commute I see homeless with their pets, and whenever possible I give them some money. Why because I know unlike the other homeless I see I know they are going to use it for drugs or alcohol. They need it to survive as well as fee their pet, usually a dog. Who as a former pet’s buddy, I know they love them more than I ever loved Jake or any of the other dogs in my past. For the simple reason they need them to help them survive.

I really plan to as them for something I can hand out to these homeless with pets. More than just a handout.

Get ready to dance your tails off, the Midwest FurFest 2022 DJ lineup is now available! We will announce more information on our talented DJs in the weeks leading up to the convention.

A note from the Artist Marketplace and Fursuit Corner team; The spirit of the Artists Menagerie is to provide an environment where everyone feels involved in the process, not pressured to perform. Please reach out to artistsalley@furfest.org for clarification on our guidelines.

Happily earlier than last year and very thankfully zero issues. Some might notice the price increase, but everything is more expensive these days… so are fur cons.

Usually I don’t post COVID Updates for lately it’s either been mask optional or the same old, same old rules we are all pretty much use to at this point.

Then MFF dropped this one, for the record I know someone who hadn’t got the booster. But it is also the same one who introduced me to MFF in the first place. I wonder what they like others I have seen in social media are actually going to do.

Also for the record I am ready now. Got all of my boosters and am ready for the one they said was coming past Labor Day.

So will you be ready?
