ČeSFuR
ČeSFuR is a furry convention in the Czech Republic that offers indoor and outdoor activities. The spelling is a reference to the name of the country from 1990 to 1993: ČSFR (Česká a Slovenská Federativní Republika = Czech and Slovak Federative Republic). Though many of the participants do not speak English, foreign attendees are welcome.
