Hey everyone!!

Well here we are, less than a week away from 2011's Western PA Furry Weekend and we thank everyone who stepped up and pre-registered for the event!

The event begins this coming Friday night, September 30, at 7pm in the upper meeting rooms of the Quality Inn, Pittsburgh North (formerly the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North) on Freeport Road in Harmar Township, just before the PA Turnpike.  Registration opens at 6:30pm on the lower level.

Our Featured Artist for 2011 is local artist Kyote and our official charity is Clarion PAWS, a non-profit, animal shelter north of Pittsburgh serving the needs of Clarion, Jefferson and Venango counties.

Registration for the whole weekend is just $30 at the door.  "What does that get you?" You ask?  Well it gets you an evening of dances, shows and furry fellowship Friday and Saturday night, snacks and drinks, Saturday Morning cartoons, lunch, picnic dinner and dessert Saturday, a couple tickets to win stuff at our premier Charity Raffle, and the opportunity to have a wonderful weekend with furry friends at two excellent venues!  You get your money's worth on the food, snacks and drinks alone!

You can also register, or Upgrade your registration, to our Supporter level!  Supporters get a special gift this year to show our appreciation as well as front of the line priviledges for shows and dinner, extra free raffle tickets and a quality color print of this year's event program cover art, by this year's featured artist.  If the special gift doesn't entice you...YOU GET TO EAT FIRST!!!

We like to keep the event light and stress free while providing a little structure so folks aren't want for something to do.  Please check out our schedule for the weekend at http://wpafw2011.sched.org and for more information on hotel reservations or our charity, please visit our website at http://www.wpafw.org.

Thank you and I hope to see you this weekend!
