Hey there community members! MNFurs is proud to announce that the Spring Picnic is being hosted at French Regional Park @ the Skyview Picnic Area. Come join your fellow furs on May 28th from 11:00 am to 7:30 pm. Our grillmasters are ready to cook up food. We are set for the potluck filled with the food you bring to share. The theme for this year’s picnic is pre-launch for Furry Migrations Space Grand-Prix.
Help support the MNFurs and the picnic by making a $15 donation to receive a limited edition badge or by picking up some merchandise. We accept cash or credit/debit for both donations & merch.
While we’re still in a pandemic, we’re counting on individuals to decide what’s best for COVID protection practices for themselves. So, wear a mask if you’d like, but they’re not required. Vaccinations are not required but are strongly recommended.
If you are joining us, RSVP to help us know who’s coming and to get a rough count for supplies. The picnic this year will be hosted by Rico. If anyone has questions or wants to promote some sub-events @ the picnic, email rico@mnfurs.org. Other MNFurs staff, board members, and convention staff will be on-site too if questions arise!
Go to the forums for more information.
See you at the Spring Picnic!

This includes providing regular meetings for members and supporting parties to gather together, educational experiences covering a variety of topics, volunteer chances to help support interests that are in line with the interests of many furs, and a chance to help show the positive and unique aspects of furry culture.
Social gatherings include events like furry bowling, fursuit romps, bi-weekly meetups at a few different locations, twice yearly picnics in the spring and fall, and several other community-led events. Educational endeavors have been expanding to include a new scholarship program, plans for a mentorship program, regular panels and discussions about a variety of skills both useful to general furs and about ways to express the unique talent and abilities of furs. Volunteering is also a huge part of the Minnesota Furs mission, assisting at many large events throughout the year, especially Como Zoo’s ZooBoo event.
The members of Minnesota Furs have a broad ranging skill set from event organization, negotiation, publications, business endeavors, and organizational skills. The non-profit hopes to help grow these skills both on a personal level and a community level to improve existing efforts and expand into new ways, providing a chance for the betterment of all.
