{{Furry Weekend Atlanta}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''Furry Weekend Atlanta''', often abbreviated simply as '''FWA''', is a regional [[furry]] [[convention]] held in [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta, Georgia]]. FWA's mascots are a [[fennec fox]] and a [[rabbit]]. The convention started in 2004, and most recently occurred on the weekend of March 15-18 in 2012. Although the convention originally was held around [[Wikipedia:Valentine's Day|Valentine's Day]], often with a similar theme (represented in the conbook and on the con shirt), the con was rescheduled to a mid-March timeframe in 2009.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://community.livejournal.com/furryweekend/195282.html Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009: The Official Announcement] by [[Kiran Lightpaw]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is the [[List of conventions by attendance|4th largest furry convention]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Furry Weekend Atlanta was the logical outgrowth of furry gathering held for years in Atlanta at the homes of various furs. Over the years, as more and more furs showed up in the metro Atlanta area, the gatherings became larger and larger. The idea of holding a furry convention was raised by several members of the Atlanta furry family, first in 2001 when nothing became of it, and then again in 2003. As the result of several planning sessions held in August of 2003, a concrete plan emerged to hold a convention in February of 2004. The name chosen echoes that of [[Wikipedia:Anime Weekend Atlanta|Anime Weekend Atlanta]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2004]]====&lt;br /&gt;
About 270 people attended the first Furry Weekend Atlanta at the [http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/atlap Holiday Inn Airport North] from February 13 to 15 in 2004. The guest of honor was [[LatinVixen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2005]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Around 500 people from 32 states and three foreign countries attended the convention from February 11 to 13 in 2005. The guests of honor included [[Jessie T. Wolf]] and [[Fel]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2006]]====&lt;br /&gt;
557 people from 36 states and four foreign countries attended the convention from February 17 to 19 in 2006. The guests of honor included [[Bill Holbrook]] and [[Matt Burt]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2007]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Furry Weekend Atlanta 2007 selected the [http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=48 Sheraton Gateway Hotel] as its new venue. The Holiday Inn Airport North had become too small for the size of the convention, and the new facility offered roughly double the space available to the rapidly growing convention. However, the Sheraton itself was sold out before the 2007 convention.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.furryweekend.com/node/61 ''SHERATON SOLD OUT!''] by Kiran Lightpaw.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The final attendance count was 762, a 37% increase over the previous year. The guests of honor included [[Strider Orion]] and [[Daria McGrain]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2008]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA returned to the Sheraton Gateway Hotel on February 15-17, 2008, with [[Bonk]] and [[Tilt Longtail]] as the Guests of Honor, and 1,046 furs attending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2009 brought two big changes to the convention: a move in location to the [http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/ATLAHHH-Hilton-Atlanta-Georgia/index.do Hilton Atlanta Hotel] and a change in dates from mid-February to March 19-22. Guests of honor were [[Lizardbeth]] and [[Matthew Ebel]].  1,371 attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2010]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2010 returned to the Atlanta Hilton on March 25th to 28th, 2010. The theme was &amp;quot;Carnaval&amp;quot;, with [[Kamicheetah]] as the Guest of Honor, and 1,564 guests attending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2011]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2011 took place on March 17-21, 2011, at the [http://www.sheratonatlantahotel.com/ Sheraton Atlanta Hotel]. The theme was &amp;quot;Furries in Wonderland&amp;quot;, and the Guests of Honor were [[Lacy]] and [[CloudPouncer]] of [http://lacy.timduru.org/ fursuiting.com], and [[furry artist]] [[Zhivago]]. 1,621 attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2012]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2012 took place over March 15-18, 2012, at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel. The theme was &amp;quot;Furries at the Moulin Rouge&amp;quot;, and the Guests of Honor were [[Kyell Gold]] and [[Rukis]]. 1902 Guests attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2013]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2013 is scheduled for March 14-17, 2013 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. The theme will be &amp;quot;Still in Love&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Organization==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Charities==&lt;br /&gt;

{{Furry Weekend Atlanta}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''Furry Weekend Atlanta''', often abbreviated simply as '''FWA''', is a regional [[furry]] [[convention]] held in [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta, Georgia]]. FWA's mascots are a [[fennec fox]] and a [[rabbit]]. The convention started in 2004, and most recently occurred on the weekend of March 15-18 in 2012. Although the convention originally was held around [[Wikipedia:Valentine's Day|Valentine's Day]], often with a similar theme (represented in the conbook and on the con shirt), the con was rescheduled to a mid-March timeframe in 2009.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://community.livejournal.com/furryweekend/195282.html Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009: The Official Announcement] by [[Kiran Lightpaw]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is the [[List of conventions by attendance|4th largest furry convention]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Furry Weekend Atlanta was the logical outgrowth of furry gathering held for years in Atlanta at the homes of various furs. Over the years, as more and more furs showed up in the metro Atlanta area, the gatherings became larger and larger. The idea of holding a furry convention was raised by several members of the Atlanta furry family, first in 2001 when nothing became of it, and then again in 2003. As the result of several planning sessions held in August of 2003, a concrete plan emerged to hold a convention in February of 2004. The name chosen echoes that of [[Wikipedia:Anime Weekend Atlanta|Anime Weekend Atlanta]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2004]]====&lt;br /&gt;
About 270 people attended the first Furry Weekend Atlanta at the [http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/atlap Holiday Inn Airport North] from February 13 to 15 in 2004. The guest of honor was [[LatinVixen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2005]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Around 500 people from 32 states and three foreign countries attended the convention from February 11 to 13 in 2005. The guests of honor included [[Jessie T. Wolf]] and [[Fel]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Furry Weekend Atlanta 2007 selected the [http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=48 Sheraton Gateway Hotel] as its new venue. The Holiday Inn Airport North had become too small for the size of the convention, and the new facility offered roughly double the space available to the rapidly growing convention. However, the Sheraton itself was sold out before the 2007 convention.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.furryweekend.com/node/61 ''SHERATON SOLD OUT!''] by Kiran Lightpaw.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The final attendance count was 762, a 37% increase over the previous year.

&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2009 brought two big changes to the convention: a move in location to the [http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/ATLAHHH-Hilton-Atlanta-Georgia/index.do Hilton Atlanta Hotel] and a change in dates from mid-February to March 19-22. Guests of honor were [[Lizardbeth]] and [[Matthew Ebel]].  1,371 attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2010]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2010 returned to the Atlanta Hilton on March 25th to 28th, 2010. The theme was &amp;quot;Carnaval&amp;quot;, with [[Kamicheetah]] as the Guest of Honor, and 1,564 guests attending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2011]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2011 took place on March 17-21, 2011, at the [http://www.sheratonatlantahotel.com/ Sheraton Atlanta Hotel]. The theme was &amp;quot;Furries in Wonderland&amp;quot;, and the Guests of Honor were [[Lacy]] and [[CloudPouncer]] of [http://lacy.timduru.org/ fursuiting.com], and [[furry artist]] [[Zhivago]]. 1,621 attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2012]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2012 took place over March 15-18, 2012, at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel. The theme was &amp;quot;Furries at the Moulin Rouge&amp;quot;, and the Guests of Honor were [[Kyell Gold]] and [[Rukis]]. 1902 Guests attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2013]]====&lt;br /&gt;
FWA 2013 is scheduled for March 14-17, 2013 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. The theme will be &amp;quot;Still in Love&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
