Chalk Drawing

Last year at RainFurrest we had an unofficial chalk drawing area at the rear of the hotel near the back parking lot.

As it seemed to be a very popular event, RainFurrest decided to make this an official creative space, however to keep the hotel from washing it away, and to insure we can do it in the future, we had to add some rules:

1. G rated art only - In other words, no adult drawings. Should less than appropriate drawings show up we will lose this creative space.
2. Leave the area as you found it - No modifications to Hotel or Parking signs and no drawing on the walls.

So that's about it. RainFurrest will supply the chalk for folks to use and so long as it doesn.t rain, it will run all day Friday and Saturday.


Tails and Ears Workshop

Back by popular demand, the Tails and Ears Workshop returns for another year. For just a small fee to cover the cost of materials, you can learn it by doing it. Best of all, by the end of the workshop you'll have a set to wear.


Book Launches

RainFurrest is one of the fandom's greatest writing conventions, and this year we're proving it with no less than TWO book launches! We're premiering the release of a new book from Kyell Gold, as well as RainFurrest's newest anthology!


Introducing the Music Track

Looking to refine technique? Want to learn what is out there in music? We have a programming line-up dedicated to just this!


Participatory Events

Bring your instruments with you this year! We are, as always, accepting acts for our variety show, and have also added an open mic night and a number of jam sessions, including a return of our drum circle.


Ceremonies and Awards

RainFurrest is proud to announce the first annual Coyotl Awards ceremony, sponsored by the Furry Writers' Guild! In addition, there will be an induction ceremony for the longstanding Ursa Major Awards! Come and show your support for all those writers and artists who make furry fandom so fun!


Games!

Lots and lots of games, electronic and otherwise! There will be tournaments and demos every day, or you can just stop by for some open play - so you'll always have lots to do, even when you don't have lots to do.


Live Modeling

Also this year, we will have some new live modeling panels. Like last year there will still be two nighttime nude live model panels, but now we will also have two during the day this time with clothing. Several artists asked for this as to get a better idea how clothing fits on the models form as well as the added benefit of how better draw clothing. Just another thing RainFurrest is doing to offer a better experience to the attendee.
