They make look like gems, but they are really stress balls. Everyone got a blue one until they ran out. Even the online store says SOLD OUT.

Which left “Where did that Red One came from?” Turns out according to Duncan who is on the MFF board. It was give to the staff as a gift and apparently they lost their’s.

Honestly I wish their was more to this, since the theme was The Great Furfest Heist.

Oh well

Yes I know it looks confusing, but this is the entrance to the Dealers Den at MFF. You will also notice people getting off the escalator and going somewhere. That is a tiny are where the elevator entrance sits and the entrance to the room

If your wondering why most have issues. This is it, most of the time there isn’t an issue. Until it gets crowded then there is I hope they come to a solution.

More like 3 items I forgot to post earlier

1st Up is their tee, sold out on Saturday. By Sunday the con store was taking back order and was almost completely sold out. I swear if they brought left over items from 2023’s con that would have sold out as well.

Cool tee and very well made you can buy it here https://artworktee.com/collections/mff-con-store-2024/products/con-shirt?variant=45956547477725

Even if you weren’t there it still is a cool tee.

2025 Poster

I swear to you if they have props as good as it was for 2024 they would be amazing

and lastly a seemly rare it as no one is certain where they got it

The red one on the left. That is the biggest mystery to come out of MFF2024

I don’t want to bore you with going over things I already talked about. But more on “Little Things” that I would say most missed. Like that tank (sorry about the blurry photo) covered in stickers.

The lockers were back and a lot did use them, the selfie monitor was back but I saw very few actually use it. Like the trading cards, they still had plenty before the Closing Ceremony on Sunday. Naturally they were gone by the end of it.

Unsure why MFF printed so many fake $25 MFF bills. I saw someone with a stack of them on Sunday that could have choked a horse.

Less complaints about The Skybridge, the reason why is simple the weather was nice enough to avoid it. A lot certainly did, I even heard a bunch saying they avoided it during the entire convention.

Here is one I bet most haven’t talked about. The percentage of fursuiters were up. For the last 10 years or so most cons usually have around 34% fursuiters. Not this YEAR’S MFF it was up to at least 46% Fursuiters were EVERYWHERE

16,800 attendees

Raised $136,000 for Street Dog Coalition

In addition

At their peak registration speed was almost 1900 people an hour. Average line time; 38 minutes

A fact I heard repeatedly

They SOLD OUT there tees by Saturday, and mentioned they already have a HUGE Backorder.

The last time this happened was when MFF set the record for the number of con tees sold with their anime themed con. One number I heard was over 40,000 sold.

A member of the audience didn’t like the previous announced number was 95 cents and slammed a nickel on the stage.

That is MFF for you.

Also when they set boxes on the stage to collect more donations. They raised more than $4000

I think I am not the only 1 who got rattled during the con. When they announced next years date. They repeated this years, they actually did this, and it turns out that the mascots they introduced during the Opening Ceremony, will be a permanent fixture at MFF

As for the CONFIRMED Dates and theme

The Heist is over, and it’s time for our Culprits to celebrate their hard work! Pack your suitcases for Midwest FurFest 2025, Villainous Vacation! Join us December 4th – 7th for a change in latitude with our Guests of Honor: Chervil, Joaquin Baldwin, Kitchiki, and Scurrow!

Editor’s Note

Based upon both social media and what I heard personally. If you plan to go to MFF 2025 make your reservation ASAP. It seems every hotel within a 5 mile radius was SOLD OUT. Also because some waited so long to hear back on the Room Lottery. They did not have a room and could not go.
