Congrats FuzzyFin, I hope MFF under your leadership will expand into doing local events. Like so many other cons.

Most notably prices are up, https://www.furfest.org/attend/register

Over the last 11 years I managed to collect just about every plush MFF offered. Then they dropped news of this

Announcing our third Midwest FurFest 2024 Guest of Honor (and there’s three of them)!
A string trio composed of three friends; the Trio Menagerie performs a stunning variety of genres for all stripes!

It actually came when I was on my California trip. Planning on wearing it.

Midwest FurFest is pleased to introduce our Guests of Honor for 2024!
Please welcome Blind Coyote, and Nora Garcia.
We’re excited to welcome these talented individuals aboard for the Great FurFest Heist!

BlindCoyote, one of our talented Guests of Honor and a long-time part of the community, has created works for commissioners and art to decorate the walls of many over the years. FurFest 2011 was one of his first cons, and he has attended each year since.

It began yesterday with this post MFF made on social media.

Having been a sponsor and after a friend texted me I checked out my email.

Thank you for your Sponsor membership at Midwest FurFest 2023. As you are likely aware, some gifts arrived too late for distribution at the convention.

Sponsors and Shiny Sponsors both were to receive:

• A knit winter cap with embroidered art on the front

Shiny Sponsors, in addition to the sponsor item above, should also receive:

• A 32oz stainless steel water bottle labeled with MFF artwork
• A reusable gel warmer labeled with the MFF 2023 logo

The good news is we have received these items and we are ready to distribute them. To ensure we have the correct information for you, we ask you please complete this verification form and fill it out to receive your items.

You’ll be asked to select from one of three options as to how you would like receive your items:

1. Thanks, but I don’t need them
2. Please hold these items for me, I’ll pick them up in 2024
3. Please ship my swag to me

If you wish to have your items shipped, you’ll be asked to provide a shipping address to ensure accuracy. Shipping is at the convention’s expense (you won’t be charged for it), and items are expected to be sent in March.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at registration@furfest.org

Please complete this by Sunday, February 4^th. If you do not respond, items will not be shipped to you and they may not be available for pick up in 2024.

Again, thank you for sponsoring this past year at Midwest FurFest and we hope to see you again in 2024.

Best regards,

MFF Registration

I know the items differ from my original report. But it’s been almost 2 months since MFF and I think they went to what was available. I know I will be wearing my brand new knit cap.

I honestly like checking out furry music that I know nothing about and occasionally will buy a CD not knowing what is on it. That is what happened in this case.

I was at MFF 2023 when I saw a booth with Animal Art Crimes. Who is an amazing graffiti artist, I suggest checking them out on X/ Twitter. After buying a few things I went to check out the opposite side where I saw this CD.

You might notice no title and no artist, the person who sold it to me wasn’t even wearing a name badge and only told me I would like the music. It’s good, and would like to give them credit but as this date. No one seems to can ID this CD, which is the reason for this post. Any idea please comment.
