-= Morphicon End-of-Summer Picnic =-
Yes, fellow furs, it is that time of year to once again look forward
to the Morphicon picnic. As in previous years, the picnic will be held
at Sharon Woods Metro Park, just north-east of Columbus, and on
September 4th. While we understand this is Labour Day weekend, we also
know it'll be a great excuse for having to take off Friday from work
if "necessary"!
Food, of course, will be gratis, however, if there is anything in
particular you would like or want to share with the group please feel
free to bring it along. Food donations will also be happily accepted.
Activities will include all the amenities the park has to offer, with
the addition of horseshoes, frisbee, wiffle ball, and Pictionary.
Should you have any events you would like to see please let us know.
With the date still a month away we have plenty of time for
flexibility. If you would like to bring any food or something else to
do, please send an e-mail to publicity[at]morphicon.org and we will
get back to you. Information and directions to the park can be found
here: http://www.metroparks.net/ParksSharonWoods.aspx. See you there!
-= The Woollybear Festival is Coming! =-
Vermilion, Ohio is once again preparing for the 38th Annual Woollybear
Festival & Parade, the largest one-day gathering in the state! On
September 26th, thousands will flock the quaint town of Vermilion,
located on the shores of Lake Erie. Events will include the parade,
music, games, fair food, and more! For more information on the
festival, please see
http://vermilionohionews.homestead.com/Woollybear.html.
Morphicon has traditionally played a part in the festivities and would
like to do so again this year. If you would like to participate,
please send a e-mail to publicity[at]morphicon.org so we can get in
touch with you and coordinate. Please note, this is a family festival
and while ears, tails, and fursuits are welcome, anything stronger
than G-rated is highly discouraged.
-= Calling All Artists =-
We are always looking for art for various publications we put out. If
you have anything you would like to donate, please don't hesitate to
let us know. Submissions can always be sent to
publicity[at]morphicon.org at anytime.
Right now, we are requesting art for our Furry Trackers Guide, a
booklet for con-goers, showing various locations were one might
procure food, access an ATM, etc. The art should reflect this year's
theme of Furries in Wonderland, with a focus on a specific section.
Please feel free to send any questions and artwork to
lightpawssoftpaws[at]yahoo.com. We can't guarantee we can use all the
art but your contribution will be mentioned nonetheless.
