{{Fur-Eh!}}
'''Fur-Eh!''' ('''FEH''') is an annual Canadian [[furry convention]].

== Overview ==

Fur-Eh!, Alberta's first official [[furcon]], was conceived in 2010 by [[Thallanor Rasmuson]], and its first iteration took place from May 4 to 6, 2012.

The [[convention]] was initially held at the [http://hiltongardeninn.hilton.com/en/gi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=YEGWEGI Hilton Garden Inn] and the [https://www.sawridge.com/our-hotels/edmonton-south/ Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre] for a year before settling at the [https://edmontoninn.ca Edmonton Inn and Conference Centre] (formerly '''The Ramada''') from 2015.

In 2024, the convention moved again to the [https://wyndhamedmontonevents.com/ Wyndham Edmonton Hotel and Conference Centre] and expanded in 2025 to include both it and the adjacent [https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/yeges-delta-hotels-edmonton-south-conference-centre/overview/ Delta Hotels Edmonton South Conference Centre].

Fur-Eh!'s organizer is the '''''Canadian Anthropomorphics Inc''''' group.

=== Christmas Party===
{{main|Fur-Eh! Christmas Xtravaganza}}
Fur-Eh! also has an annual one-day [[mini con]], the '''''Fur-Eh! Christmas Xtravaganza''''', held since the first year of the event in [[W:Calgary|Calgary]] as a [[W:Fundraiser|fundraiser]] towards the cost of running the convention.

In recent years, it has also included fundraising specifically towards the current [[Charity|charity partner]] of the main convention.

== History ==
=== Leadership changes ===

[[Fallout Coyote]] and Thallanor Rasmuson were the main coordinators of the convention until the 2016 convention, which incorporated a committee structure for planning and operation.

After the 2016 convention, Fallout Coyote resigned from the convention committee.<ref>[https://fureh.ca/wordpress/2016/05/25/thank-you-fallout-coyote/ ''Thank you, Fallout Coyote''] page on Fur-Eh!'s official website. Dated May 25, 2016-05-25. Retrieved Jun 7, 2016.</ref>

In 2022, Thallanor Rasmuson stepped down as the con chair, and [[bcbreakaway]] took over as the new [[convention chair]].<ref name="About">[https://www.fureh.ca/about/ ''About Fur-Eh!''] page on Fur-Eh!'s official website. Retrieved September 3, 2023.</ref>

On November 7, 2023, bcbreakaway announced on [[Twitter|X]] that he resigned from the Fur-Eh!'s [[Board of Directors]] the previous day and was subsequently removed as the convention's chairman:
{{q|I am announcing that I resigned from the Board of the organization that runs Fur-Eh! last night... - bcbreakaway}}
Fur-Eh! soon followed with an official announcement about it on November 8.<ref>[https://x.com/fureh/status/1722399184186470652 ''At Fur-Eh!, we believe it is important to be transparent with our valued Guests, even when it's not good news.''] post on Fur-Eh!'s official [[Twitter|X]] account. Dated November 8, 2023. Retrieved July 10, 2024.</ref>

On February 22, 2024, the convention announced that their new convention chair would be [[Chinona]], the founder and former chair of the [[W:Winnipeg|Winnipeg]]-based [[Wild Prairie Fur Con]]. In addition, Fur-Eh! selected [[Toasty]], also a former Wild Prairie Fur Con [[staff member]], as its vice-chair.<ref>[https://x.com/fureh/status/1760766884805284300 ''We're proud to announce Fur-Eh!'s new Conchair Chinona... and Vice-Chair, Toasty!''] post on Fur-Eh!'s official [[Twitter|X]] account. Dated February 22, 2024. Retrieved July 10, 2024.</ref>

As both of these people have [[snow leopard]] [[fursona]]s, this led to ongoing jokes that the convention would now be known as '''''Snepcon'''''.

== Mascots ==

Fur-Eh! has three [[mascot]]s: a [[beaver]], a [[lynx]], and a [[sheep|bighorn ram]].

== Typical programming ==

Fur-Eh!, Alberta's first official [[furcon]], was conceived in 2010 by [[Thallanor Rasmuson]], and its first iteration took place from May 4 to 6, 2012.

The [[convention]] was initially held at the [http://hiltongardeninn.hilton.com/en/gi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=YEGWEGI Hilton Garden Inn] and the [https://www.sawridge.com/our-hotels/edmonton-south/ Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre] for a year before settling at the [https://edmontoninn.ca Edmonton Inn and Conference Centre] (formerly '''The Ramada''') from 2015.

In 2024, the convention moved again to the [https://wyndhamedmontonevents.com/ Wyndham Edmonton Hotel and Conference Centre] and expanded in 2025 to include both it and the adjacent [https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/yeges-delta-hotels-edmonton-south-conference-centre/overview/ Delta Hotels Edmonton South Conference Centre].

Fur-Eh!'s organizer is the '''''Canadian Anthropomorphics Inc''''' group.

=== Christmas Party===
{{main|Fur-Eh! Christmas Xtravaganza}}
Fur-Eh! also has an annual one-day [[mini con]], the '''''Fur-Eh! Christmas Xtravaganza''''', held since the first year of the event in [[W:Calgary|Calgary]] as a [[W:Fundraiser|fundraiser]] towards the cost of running the convention.

In recent years, it has also included fundraising specifically towards the current [[Charity|charity partner]] of the main convention.

== History ==
=== Leadership changes ===

[[Fallout Coyote]] and Thallanor Rasmuson were the main coordinators of the convention until the 2016 convention, which incorporated a committee structure for planning and operation.

After the 2016 convention, Fallout Coyote resigned from the convention committee.<ref>[https://fureh.ca/wordpress/2016/05/25/thank-you-fallout-coyote/ ''Thank you, Fallout Coyote''] page on Fur-Eh!'s official website. Dated May 25, 2016-05-25. Retrieved Jun 7, 2016.</ref>

In 2022, Thallanor Rasmuson stepped down as the con chair, and [[bcbreakaway]] took over as the new [[convention chair]].<ref name="About">[https://www.fureh.ca/about/ ''About Fur-Eh!''] page on Fur-Eh!'s official website. Retrieved September 3, 2023.</ref>

On November 7, 2023, bcbreakaway announced on [[Twitter|X]] that he resigned from the Fur-Eh!'s [[Board of Directors]] the previous day and was subsequently removed as the convention's chairman:
{{q|I am announcing that I resigned from the Board of the organization that runs Fur-Eh! last night... - bcbreakaway}}
Fur-Eh! soon followed with an official announcement about it on November 8.<ref>[https://x.com/fureh/status/1722399184186470652 ''At Fur-Eh!, we believe it is important to be transparent with our valued Guests, even when it's not good news.''] post on Fur-Eh!'s official [[Twitter|X]] account. Dated November 8, 2023. Retrieved July 10, 2024.</ref>

On February 22, 2024, the convention announced that their new convention chair would be [[Chinona]], the founder and former chair of the [[W:Winnipeg|Winnipeg]]-based [[Wild Prairie Fur Con]]. In addition, Fur-Eh! selected [[Toasty]], also a former Wild Prairie Fur Con [[staff member]], as its vice-chair.<ref>[https://x.com/fureh/status/1760766884805284300 ''We're proud to announce Fur-Eh!'s new Conchair Chinona... and Vice-Chair, Toasty!''] post on Fur-Eh!'s official [[Twitter|X]] account. Dated February 22, 2024. Retrieved July 10, 2024.</ref>

As both of these people have [[snow leopard]] [[fursona]]s, this led to ongoing jokes that the convention would now be known as '''''Snepcon'''''.
