GR Festival of the Arts, June 2nd
« on: May 15, 2012, 07:07:04 PM »
A Saturday full of art, music, and delicious souvlaki (and other food too), what could be better?

Who: You!

What: Festival of the Arts http://www.festivalgr.org/

Where: Grand Rapids, MI (meet at the Main Library- 111 Library Street NE Grand Rapids, MI 49503)

When: 9:30 am, so as to insure enough free parking for people.

Why: For fun!

Fursuits?: Sure, if the weather's not too hot; don't want anyone overheating.

Cost: All activities and entertainment at the festival are FREE, artwork can be purchased in the Art tents, and food can be purchased at various booths. Prices usually don't go above $5 for individual food items, while art prices can vary.

I'll so be there. ^_^ I don't have to be to work until 5 on saturdays, so I'd definitely love the fursuiting time.

I will definitely keep this in mind.  Sounds like fun.

Thats sounds like a lot of fun. Count me in!

The only downside [much like my D&D] is that I work Friday nights prior so I wont be able to make it at 10am. I can try be there around noon or so depending on hoe early I get out of work and how much sleep I can squeeze in.

And if there is anybody that wants to be in a fursuit, I can bring some water if needed in case the weather is hot and sunny like it has been lately.

Where are we meeting up for this exactly? So I know whether to suit up before leaving the house or not.

Chrono, that's fine if you can't make it right away, just be sure to get a hold of someone so you can find us (as if a bunch of fursuiters would be hard to find).

Smoketail, like I mentioned in the original post, we're meeting at the library downtown so that we can take advantage of their free all-day parking.

Count me in!  Last year I went but caught a cold before the day so I didn't suit.
I'm happy fursuiting as it makes people smile.

I am bringing another fur with me.  They say 40% chance now in the afternoon and rain in the morning.  Not a good vote for fursuits I must say...

I had a great time at the meet.  It was awesome hanging out with friends I hadn't seen in a few months.  Hopefully we can all get together again another time this summer.

Here are my pics - http://www.pbase.com/zimmek/festivalgr_2012
Far fewer than Nashoba's, but I hope you like them nonetheless.
