'''FuRio''' (often misspelled as "'''FurRio'''") is a monthly [[Furmeet|furmeeting]] taking place on [[W:Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro]], [[W:Brazil|Brazil]] since 2011.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
FuRio was created on July 18th, 2011 by [[Nielsen]] during the Brazilian [[furry convention|furcon]] [[Abando|Pré-Abando]] in [[W:São Paulo|São Paulo]]. Nielsen discussed with a few members about the importance of having an official furmeet on Rio de Janeiro due to the lack of furry activities in that city and the increasing number of local furries.<br />
<br />
===Planning===<br />
<br />
The first attempt to set the meeting occurred the following week but did not get the expected adhesion. A second attempt was made on August 2011 and turned it into a solid idea after [[CaryKaiba]] joined the staff team, collaborating in many things including the official logo that allowed FuRio get noticed by using marketing campaigns. CaryKaiba also helped to define the [[mascots]].<br />
<br />
The meeting was broadcasted on [[Fauna Urbana]], a Brazilian furry news portal, and [[Furry Brasil]] a furry forum, then scheduled to be on August 21th, 2011.<br />
<br />
=== Philosophy and Activities ===<br />
<br />
The furmeet is open for both [[furries]] and "[[Mundanes|outsiders]]" interested in learning more about the furry fandom, nature and history. A very tolerant and respectful atmosphere is enforced by the whole team. The activities include workshops, [[fursuit]] contests, picnics, strolls, hiking, games, and many other interaction sports open for guests.<br />
<br />
== Mascots and Logo ==<br />
<br />
Several sketches of mascots were made in an attempt to express the "[[W:Carioca|Carioca]]" feeling of the meet. <br />
<br />
Two animals were elected; They are '''Isabel''', a [[female]] [[W:Rufous-bellied thrush|Rufous-bellied thrush]], and '''Conrado''', a [[male]] blue-eyed [[W:Sloth|Sloth]]. Both were choose due to the common presence among the wild species on Rio de Janeiro's area, and their names represents the North and South regions of Rio de Janeiro ('''Vila Isabel''' and '''São Conrado''' districts).<br />
<br />
The logo features the [[W:Carioca Aqueduct|Carioca Aqueduct]], a well known tourist attraction on Rio de Janeiro. The reason for using this monument was to help draw attention to the beauty of more urban Brazilian landmarks, rather than just beaches.<br />
