Event Activities

 * Dance Workshop: Although the original plan was a dance competition, it was replaced with a dance workshop due to lack of competition participants. The dance workshop was headed by Rei Takamaya who taught the participants the basics of Locking. The participants were then tasked to show off their dance moves. As a consolation for their participation, they were given pet dog blankets sponsored by Pet Express.


 * Art Contest: The contestants drew traditional art on illustration boards. The winner of this contest is Skyver Chase.


 * Furry Rave: In the furry rave, every furry got their dance moves on with the beats of DJ Rei Takamaya as well as rave lighting and effects.


 * Fursuit Making Tutorial: One of the talks and panels, the Fursuit Making Tutorial was lead by fursuiter, Jazzthur Leminson. He discussed the basics of fursuit making as well as tips for making one.


 * Talk With Uncle Kage: The talk with Uncle Kage, the spokesperson for the furry fandom in dispelling myths and rumors of the fandom, was made via Skype although it was short lived due to technical errors.


 * Games: The games included throwback of old cartoons and films that are related to the fandom and guessing who the character is on stage.
