Furry Siesta's mascot gets around

Furry Siesta is a two-day sister event to Furry Fiesta. The event was originally advertised as a large furmeet rather than a convention, and did not feature panels, ceremonies, Artist Alley, or a Dealer's Den.[1] Furry Siesta 2018 was the first year to feature scheduled events, an organized fursuit parade, as well as a small Dealer's Den and Artist Alley marking the event's transition from large furmeet to a mini-con.

Furry Siesta 2015 was held at the Crowne Plaza Dallas Near Galleria-Addison Hotel from 31 July-1 August 2015.[1]
