Originating in California, United States, during the mid-1980s, there are now over 40 annual furry conventions worldwide, mostly in North America and Europe. The largest furry convention is Midwest FurFest which is held each year in suburban Chicago, Illinois.
Keeping this in view, what should I expect at a furry convention?
- first, it's a convention - there are lots of people walking around, registering, milling around, meeting people, meeting old friends, making new ones, sharing special moments of just sharing the atmosphere.
- people in fursuits walking around the convention halls, being cute and stuff, hugging people and posing for photos.
Furthermore, how can you tell if someone is a furry? You know off the top of your head what “Digitigrade” means (and you can spell it correctly too) You keep hearing people saying “Furry” instead of “Very” and “Fur enough” instead of “Fair enough” You get excited when you overhear someone saying the word “Furry” or mentioning animals in a conversation.
Similarly, you may ask, how old do you have to be to go to a furry convention?
18 years old
