[Apologies for the x-posting]

The Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend, www.wpafw.org, kicks off Friday, 
October 6th, at 7PM with our Friday Furry Social and spans the entire 
weekend!  Hey!  That's TOMORROW!!

We have 45 furs pre-registered from all around Pennsylvania, the surrounding 
states as well as Canada and we're expecting more to show up at the door to 
take part in this fun and intimate annual Furmeet.  We hope you will be one 
of them!

On-site Registration will be open from 7-10PM on Friday night outside the 
Allegheny Room at the Comfort Inn, Pittsburgh North and from 1-5PM on 
Saturday at the Fur-b-que at Fireman's Memorial Park in Aspinwall, PA.  
Basic registration On-site is $25, payable by cash, check or money order. 
Sorry, no upgrades are available after pre-registration closed.  
Pre-registered attendees, arriving Friday night after registration closes 
should see Ashe Krryven, Host of the Friday Furry Social, to check in, get 
your wrist band and your registration packet.

Speaking about the Friday Furry Social, Ashe is excited to be able to kick 
off the Furry Weekend and afford our attendees with room to gather, 
socialize, play games, join in a sketching circle or catch one of four 
movies being shown during the seven hour event.  On the screen for your 
pleasure are, in order of showing, Disney's "Robin Hood," Jim Henson's "The 
Dark Crystal," Disney's "Lion King," and Lisburger's "Animalympics."  The 
Friday Furry Social begins at 7pm and runs until 2am to offer the 
opportunity for attendees arriving late to still get in on the fun and 
fellowship.  Light hors d'oeuvres along with snacks and drinks will be 
served through the evening while supplies last.

Don't forget to bring along your con-badge, and if you don't have one 
already, you might be able to petition one of the many artists on hand at 
the event to sketch you one or maybe even draw in your furry sketch book.

Our Furry Weekend Charity, Animal Friends - Pittsburgh's only No-Kill animal 
shelter, is excited to be working with us again for the third year in a row. 
  They have donated gifts and literature to the event and have enrolled us 
in a program which links our efforts up with local philanthropists who will 
match what we raise at this weekend's event.  That means we can double our 
overall contribution to this worth while, not for profit, organization.  
With that in mind, please come prepared to make a difference for canines and 
felines without homes here in southwestern Pennsylvania.

That's just the start of the weekend.  The WPAFW Staff and I have much more 
planned for you Saturday and Sunday. So don't miss out on the furry fun this 
weekend in the autumn clad Allegheny River valley just outside of 
Pittsburgh, PA.

Safe travels and we look forward to showing you a great time!
