Conventions
There are numerous furry conventions held worldwide during the year. Many furry fans are artists, writers, and costumers. At furry conventions, they get together to trade and sell art and stories, perform in and show off fursuits, attend workshops and discussion panels, and hang out with friends from online.
A typical furry convention will have a dealer's hall, where vendors set up tables and sell art and comics featuring furries. During the day, there is programming on various "tracks" such as drawing, writing, or costuming. There is usually a masquerade or costume performance for people who wear fursuits. Most furry conventions have an auction to help raise money for animal-related charity.
