Fur Reality 2016



Fur Reality 2016 was the fourth Fur Reality convention. It took place over October 7-9, 2016.

The theme was "Believe", with a focus on "the paranormal, the mysterious and the weird". The guest of honor was Aerokat, who was responsible for the designs of the convention's T-shirts (which sold out) and the give away poster, as well as the inks for the card game, Cryptid Codex. The special musical guests were Citrine Husky and Vander. Citrine hosted a number of musical and comedic panels, whilst Vander organised the dead dog dance. Additional guests were Uncle Kage, Alkali Bismuth, and Xander the Blue.

Fur Reality 2016 saw 515 attendees, including 89 fursuiters in the fursuit parade (with quite a few more making it in through the doors for the photograph in the last few moments, but after organisers had finished the official count).

Approximately $5682 was raised for the convention's charity, the Ohio Alleycat Resource. Over $2500 came from the charity auction, whilst another $2500 came from the donations and purchases made at the OAR table. The rest from our various charity-raising panels.
