FurFright, you will be missed by INKtiger

I try not to bring personal feelings into my journals too much or too often but I feel like I should share a little something with you.

It has just been announced that FurFright has officially come to an end. There were rumors of it ending before and the staff reassured us that it would come back in 2014, however due to unforeseen events, that is now not going to be happening. I have worked with the staff and sometimes as a volunteer with the con and I know how dedicated everyone was to it. If this could be avoided I'm sure it would be.

I am very saddened to loose this con. I was encouraged to go to FurFright 4 years ago and it has been the support and the strength I needed to really branch out as an artist in this community. Each year it only got better until it became an experience I planned for and looked forward. It has thus far been my one and only con and realizing I'm never going to be there again leaves a distressed place inside me.

Still I have to be grateful and honored to have been a GOH at it's final year. It was so humbling to have people enjoying the t-shirt I designed and the con-book cover. I had the single best con experience I have ever had and I will forever remember how much the con and all of you who would visit me there meant to me.

I am hoping to see all of you FurFright attendees at other cons in the future, it wont be the same but we'll make new memories and have new experiences.

Much love to you all and all my gratitude to my friends and the staff of FurFright, you mean the world to me.

FurFright, you will be missed

    Are you serious?! I just moved to CT, and made it to my first FF, and was super excited to live so close to such a nice convention. Gosh daaaaaannnnnnnggggggggg

      Unfortunately yes, though I am hearing some of the staff are looking to establish a new con at the same location so perhaps we will have a CT con to go to, it just wont be FurFright.

        Mm, after I read your journal I looked it up else where, and there are contests being held for naming the new CT con (someone suggested FrightFur already, lol). A lot of the same staff will be there, too, so it looks like all is not lost!
