It's that time again!

The theme of this year's Winter Carnival at Michigan Tech is "Heroes and Villains Find Their Power, in These Frozen Winter Hours!"

Here's  hundaro with the details:

That time of year is coming around again, whether you like the snow and cold or not, so start growing your winter coat for the 2013 Winter Carnival at MTU! The theme of this year's carnival is Heroes and Villains. Regardless, if you are a little goody two shoes hero or a constant failure at taking over the world you are welcome to join in the festivities. The furtastic weekend will start on the night of Friday February 8th and end the morning of Sunday February 10th.

There will be plenty to do, of course. For all the snow birds out there the options are plentiful. There is snowboarding and skiing at Mt. Ripley, snowshoeing or XC skiing, snow sculptures, etc. For those furs who just wish to stick around the house and visit will have board games, ping pong, video games, movies, and music/dancing to help keep them entertained. For those into a little bit of nightlife- Houghton has a number of bars that are great to relax and socialize, and now the city offers a fancy dance club for the furs that want to shake those tails off into the night.

There will be plenty of room at my house for all of those furries and fur-friendlies out there with three beds, two inflatable mattresses, two couches, and plenty of floor space for any more inflatable mattresses or sleeping bags. Noms and snackage will be provided, so any donation would be appreciated but not required. There is also wi-fi at my place for the guests' use. I do have a very lovable dog, but just in case be prepared if you have any allergies.

The tentative plan:

Friday:

-Meet and greet (When we all shake paws and introduce ourselves. Although, a large portion has already met most that are attending.)
-Pizza, (Will be graciously provided by the host :D) or for those who are willing to spend some money a late dinner out at the new Mexican restaurant "Habaneros."
-Movies at home (All day)
-Games (Board, card, video, you name it) (All day)
-Miscellaneous Shenanigans (All day)

Saturday:

-Snow sculpture viewing/Fursuiting (For those willing. A photo shoot would accompany those who tag along for this.)
-Skiing/Snowboarding (Most likely for the Techies, but others who are interested will be escorted to the slopes.)
-Dinner cooked and provided by the host ("Bacon Bombs" and vegetarian chili)
-Furry Bowling
-Movie at the theater (If enough interest is expressed)
-Games (All day)
-Movies (All day)
-Continued Shenanigans (All day)

Sunday:

-Breakfast at the hillside (For those that dare to get up at 10 in the morning!)
-Saying goodbyes :(

So, here's what you need to know.

We'll be meeting at 5:00 on Friday, February 8 at Hundaro's house, and again at 11:00 on Saturday, February 9 at the Memorial Union Building in the middle of Michigan Tech's campus. All ages are welcome.

For the most up-to-date info, you should take a look at the Facebook event (you probably have to be a member of the group to RSVP, but I'm not sure). We'll try to keep things up to date on here and especially Twitter throughout the weekend as well.

If you need to know any addresses or phone numbers, please send a note to  hundaro.

See you there!!
