GENERAL UPDATES
Since the last newsletter I have applied to Midwest Furfest (Rosemont, IL: Dec 5-8) and Texas Furry Fiesta (Dallas, TX: Apr 10-12) and should hear back about placement by the end of this month. We are still crossing our fingers for updates on Furpocalypse (Stamford, CT: Oct 31-Nov 3) and should be hearing back soon as well!
(PS…..still waiting for more people to hear back to announce publicly but………..I did get into FurPoc Dealer’s Den!!)
My next upcoming con is Furry Migration in Minneapolis, MN between September 6-8! I will be working in the Dealer’s Den (Table D7) all three days and will be hosting VENDOR BINGO once again! Be sure to stop by to play and check out more sneak peeks to the full Fall Drop later this month.
Shortly after FM, I will be tackling Another Furry Con in Ontario, CA between Sept 27-29 with a shared table beside the incredible Hyacinthine Art at Table D17! Come hang out with us and see what chaotic antics we’ve cooked up for y’all!
Have you noticed it’s been getting just a tiiiiiny bit cooler in the mornings?! Maybe fall is really on its way! Celebrate the inching toward an incredible season with this little guy. He’s really trying his best to keep the yard clean of leaves – aren’t you proud? All Sticker Clubs have gone out the door – expect to start seeing them turn up in your mailbox later this week!
The PapaBarks event came to a close on August 12th with a grand finale and prize drawing! The incredible campaign managed to raise $60,000 for ALS United North Carolina with our own raising over $3600 with the Movie Theater YCH!
The Zratreon also managed to be incredibly lucky and have a handful of folks win prizes during the drawing!
Congrats to the following for being pulled for prizes:
Clem: Jurassic Park dinosaur plushies
Geks: Windy Animal Figurines
Kitchiki: Shaded Bust
Geks AGAIN: Elvenhound Pin Set
Dante: Chibi & Keychain
Zray: Bubblegum Barks VR Base
Blessed be the Great Cheese, who watches over us and grants us luck.
I am extremely pleased to report I had wiggle room to make enough new merchandise to curate a fairly chunky fall drop this year!
Here’s what you can expect to see later this month and at future cons:
(10) New Sticker Designs
(2) New Keychain Designs + Restock
(3) New Pin Designs + Restock
(2) New Patches
(1) New VERY LIMITED T-shirt Design
(1) New General T-shirt Design
(1) New Sweatshirt Design
There are a few more items in the works, but this is the current planned inventory! Now… I know you’d like a sneak peek. And y’all have been very good and patient this past month so… here you go!
I cannot believe it’s already September and my two months of slow down have come to an end! I tackled and completed projects for the Papabarks Charity and otherwise just kind of… vibed? It was tough to learn to not work constantly and I mostly just quietly planted small seeds for the remainder of the year.
I am sad to say these past few weeks have been difficult for me and my health and was not exactly how I had hoped to spend the tailend of my time off. At this time I am still working with my doctors to have a plan of action to help my day to day, but I am trucking along! While things have been hard, I am slowly starting to get to a better place than I was before and I thank you all for your patience as I navigate this medical hiccup!
Most of the day to day will NOT be affected, but as always I will keep y’all updated with any changes! For now… let’s enjoy the beginning of Fall, shall we?
