Good News everybody! After talking with the MCHA about the idea of mascotting for this event they have decided they love the idea and would love to have us there! This was a crazy idea that I wasn't even certain would fly but after explaining why we fursuit and mascot and that we just loved doing it they said they would love to have us!
While it's not just for Bloomingfurs or fursuiters alone, I would need a list of suiters (and skilled fursuit handlers) willing to help out. Even if you are unsure about being able to suit but are interested they would like us to send them pictures of the suiters (in suit) and how many t-shirts we will need for partial suits or fullsuiters willing to wear t-shirts over their suits.
You would be interacting with children and there are animals here. This is why we need handlers! We will need handlers who are willing to stay with groups of suiters to make certain dogs aren't underfoot and to read body language of canines and children alike as to keep the suiters and animals/children safe. If you don't want children coming up to you in suit, I probably wouldn't volunteer your time. This is an outdoors event as well.
We also may be carrying around donation buckets to try and raise extra money for the foundation as well if you are willing to help out here too. They liked the idea of the fursuiters being there because they want the walk and Barktoberfest to feel more kid friendly and what's more kid friendly than a bunch of giant animals you can hug and interact with running around!?!?
We have been given the honor as being listed as Silver sponsors for the event for the time we put in to being there as mascots. I already know there are a few who have committed to this but if anyone else would like to join in please send me information/ details on if you are wanting to suit or be a handler for the group. We will be given an area to change, bottled water and I believe a few fans to cool off so the magic isn't ruined for the little guys.. but we will need help from friends as well to keep us hydrated and to watch out for suiters!
This is located in the heart of IU campus so if we decide we would like to continue suiting after the events Kirkwood isn't that far away and the Dinner/after party can begin!...because anyone and everyone who shows up to suit, support or handle deserves a pat on the back for their hard work in helping a local animal charity!
If you have any questions or concerns just send a email or message here and I will discuss things with the director of MCHA and/or add further details to this for everyone.
If we have a nice turnout we will decide where we would be going for dinner, make reservations and whatnot the closer we get to the actual date. Suggestions or anything everyone is welcome to speak up.
Note: Common sense request because this isn't a private furry event and we have been invited as an honor to associated with this group. Please, no harnesses on fursuiters(EVEN if you are canine) no humans on leashes or collars. Fursuits can have collars on(No LEASHES!) but for the safety and consideration of this group and the children let's try and keep accessories on fursuits and furries alike to a PG rating. Bells, collars and anything cute and friendly on suits is fine, anything that might be suggestive or any suggestive behavior in public is not so fine.. You are representing furries as a whole and fursuiters. Please just consider this before getting offended at these requests.
Trick or treating is suppose to be going on Friday due to weather from 5:30-8:30 and since its Friday we don't really have a cut off. You're all welcome any time. Just contact me through FA or facebook for more info :D
