On February 20th - 22nd of 2009, the inaugural year of Furry Fiesta came to pass. We were fortunate enough to score convention space in the magnificent Crowne Plaza Hotel in Addison, situated in the heart of Dallas. Our first year was a smashing success; with 542 attendees, 92 participants in our Fursuit Parade, and $2700 raised for the Center for Animal Research and Education, we made our first year something to remember for all involved! Thanks to all our attendees, sponsors, super-sponsors, volunteers, staff, and the Crowne Plaza Hotel Addison staff for making our first year spectacular!
Now it's time to get started on Furry Fiesta 2010, slated for February 19th - 21st this time around, and we've already got a star-studded line-up going! Our three guests of honor this year are Tigerwolf, Kyell Gold, and Michele Light, each one a furry icon in their own right. We've managed to scoop up almost all of the available convention space this year, and we're going to use every inch of it to bring you the best experience we can! Favorites from the previous year will be coming back, and the increase in space will allow us to bring you a larger Dealer's Den and more panel space...along with some new surprises that should make it a fantastic weekend for everyone! Pre-registration is all set up for this year, and we encourage you to take care of it sooner rather than later; the more of you we know are coming, the better we can prepare for you!

Simple and sweet, folks: if you're waiting until the last minute to pre-register, it's arrived! Pre-registration saves you money, helps us plan for events with the hotel, ensures that we order enough supplies for everyone, lets you pick up your goodies on Thursday night, and makes the entire process a snap! At 12:01 AM CST on Monday, February 1st, 2010, pre-registration will close; don't miss out on your opportunity! Click on "Registration" to the left and take advantage of this chance!

Time sure does fly when you're having fun, and we're having plenty of fun gearing up for Furry Fiesta 2010 and getting all the new features and plans into place!
Don't forget, only two months remain before pre-registration closes on January 31st, 2010!
There are many reasons to pre-register: the ability to pick up your bag of goodies (and badge!) on Thursday night, the lower price, helping us gauge attendance so that we can order enough of everything...but here's one you might not have considered. (Read More to get more information!)

Thanks to our recent purchase of Canada (shh), we've managed to rope in Wookiee as our Artist Guest of Honor for Furry Fiesta 2010! For the three of you who don't know who this renowned artist is, he's been doing furry art for about fifteen years now, and the quality of his diverse work has progressed to truly amazing levels.

That's right, we've gotten a hold of Kyell Gold, and he's going to be our Writing Guest of Honor for 2010! Having been a part of the furry writing scene for nearly a decade now, he's won Ursa Major awards for his novels in 2005, 2006, and 2008, and continues to write with the goal of releasing one novel-length work every year. His work tends to lean more toward the romantic fiction side, and his style improves with every book he releases, with recent works like Out of Position and Waterways proving immensely popular among the furry crowd.
