MNFurs is a group that offers resources to aid the furry community in Minnesota which directly sponsor events mostly in the Minneapolis – Saint Paul Twin Cities metropolitan area; and offers online communication resources for greater Minnesota.

[edit] History

MNFurs evolved from a small, Twin Cities based, bi-weekly furmeet known as the SNCFurs[1] which started in 2002, which in turn had spun off from the now-defunct Frozen Furs.[2] The original attendance of the SNC meets and small events were less then a dozen people, and has since evolved to a community which supports indoor and outdoor events from 20-125 people and regular bi-weekly meets ranging between 30 to 60 people.

In 2004 the SNC Furs held the first annual picnic which was the start of evolving the group to something bigger. It was their first event with over 50 people in attendance and the groundwork for MNFurs as it is today. The official transition over to the MNFurs namesake was made in 2006, with MNFurs.org registered on 7 August 2006.[3] In 2007 a basic community website was created which was re-made in 2010 to support the growing online presence and communications channels MNFurs supports today.

Future events:
- September, 2014 - Furry Migration convention at Ramada Minneapolis Airport in Bloomington, Minnesota.
