Columbia Basin Fur Con Update
10 years ago
Who all saw the map in the RF art show room? We were drawn in as a new Fiefdom, near the Ruins of FurIdaho. Which was really cool. They sold it at a charity auction, so it was only in the art room until midday on Saturday. We are still on schedule for 2017. Just with the con being so far out, we aren't posting daily updates on what all we have done.
Most of what has been done so far, has just been marketing. Our team has been at three cons in the last five months getting the word out about our con. It's a hard sell, not just with the location but it being a new con and set in 2017. So it has been a lot of us trying to build the hype up. Between Gene, the RainFurrest staff, the Furlandia staff and the staff at BLFC we have received a lot of support. Not to mention advice, every do and don't I hear gets filed away for future reference.
So while I have been quiet about it, we have been working on getting things lined up. We are still on schedule and our reg system will go up around April of 2016 for Pre Reg. We do need volunteers for Ops, Theater and other places. Previous con experience desired, just so department heads can relax a little bit. You can check the website for desired skills in all our positions.
As for the location, we are pretty much settled on it. The next board meeting will nail that down and we shall get set on the contract part of things. Which then means an exact date, so we can start getting all of that worked out. So then those wishing to attend will know and can plan things out. Dealers will be able to work it into their schedules, same with our Guests of Honor.
In other words, we are just about to the part where it becomes full speed ahead. This isn't just talk, we are doing everything we can to make it a reality. Please bare with us while we work everything out, trust me, it will be worth it. All the time spent learning from other cons, is well spent. Hope to see you all there.
