When Furballs Strike (WFS) 54 - Dino Safari!

Our summer furbowl When Furballs Strike 54 is set for Saturday, August 30 and will be pawsitively "Dino-mite!" as we take a late summer Dino Safari back 65 million years to celebrate these amazing prehistoric creatures! There will be many dinosaur-themed prizes in the raffle, and our higher-level sponsors get great gifts: Supersponsors get a themed dino zipper pouch, and Ultrasponsors get that, plus a 10" dino plush of their choice (Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus, Triceratops or T-Rex)!

The zipper pouches will be chosen at check-in, Ultrasponsors must indicate which plush they want in the "notes" section of their pre-reg payment. We also have a bunch of WFS logo sport bottles (WFS 53 gift) still available - if you want one instead of the plush, mention in the notes.

Include in the Notes/info section your Telegram handle (if you have one, for confirmation), what name you want on the bowling score screen (this will also be your check-in name), and which Dino plush you want (or the WFS sport bottle) if Ultrasponsoring. We have been selling out of lanes the last several meets so we will be putting up to 6 bowlers per lane.

IMPORTANT: If you would like to bowl in a group, please make sure ALL members pre-reg (put in the notes section who you want to bowl with).

If you pre-reg, there will two separate, much faster-moving lines where you quickly pick up your raffle tickets, gifts and lane assignment. Pre-Reg closes at 11:59pm on Tuesday, August 26. Do not send payments in after the cutoff as you will still have to go to the at-event reg line.

FURSUIT CHANGING/GROUP PHOTO

We have a dedicated room for fursuit changing/storage (behind the party room partition). Please be courteous to other attendees and only use this room if you need to, and try to space out usage so it doesn't overcrowd.

The fursuit group photo begins staging at 2pm before bowling starts. When setting up for the photo please let shorter fursuiters be in the front, and spread out side-to-side as much as possible since the photo is taken as a panoramic. Those in front must either sit or kneel.
