It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Mark Merlino (Sy Sable).
Considered one of the founders of our community, his loss will be felt by many.
We extend our condolences to his loved ones.
Rest in peace, Mark.

Our friends at Midwest FurFest are forever family. Recently, James reached out with an unimaginable cancer diagnosis in his dog Ben. Ben recently passed away and we were able to cover their bills. We love you James and Joanna. We are so sorry.

some art I did for MFF. was super interested to see how these came out, and it looks amazing

SO... Neat thing I learned today. If you left something at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare recently, you can go to ileftmystuff.com and report it (Hotel Client ID 44330) and a manager will look into it for you! #FurFest

WOO HOO! Here it is! The #PurplePic from #MFF2023 / Midwest FurFest! Thank you to all you amazing PurpleFurs for showing up & handling all the chaos so well! Big thanks to Kinger Riteski 🔜 AC, FM, MFF, ANW for helping and providing the signs, & huge thanks to Twiga Giraffe for being the photographer!

Excited to finally share these!! The attendee badge art for Midwest FurFest 2023. ❄❄❄

The Bimbo Furry Meet & Greet at MFF went really well, turnout higher than I could ever expect! We also raised $592.05 towards Live Like Roo through our outfit contest! I'd like to thank everyone who helped and participated, and Midwest FurFest for having us! ❤️

You may have seen this critter embroidered on shirts at the Midwest FurFest con store this past weekend! ⛄️

I had fun designing it, and would love to see pics if anyone got one of the shirts!
(I couldn't attend MFF this year so I haven't seen how they turned out yet) ❄️

I really want to thank @furfest for an absolutely -amazing- experience of being Guest of Honor for #MFF2023 . Something I will never forget! 💜 Was such a wonderful surprise for the recognition! 💜💜💜

Midwest FurFest you are an incredible community and you are now and furever part of the Roo Family.
They raised $185,758.31 for animals with cancer. We laughed, we cried and we sobbed as I read the total. It will help so many people and animals that need us. We will never forget this.
