About FURconsin
FURconsin was an annual private furmeet in Wisconsin, first held October 13, 2007; the name combines "furry" and "Wisconsin". By 2017 it was a four-night stay in a ten-bedroom cabin with meals, drinks, snacks and round-trip transport from Milwaukee, and it typically drew 15 to 30 attendees. Activities included boating and local fursuit walks. It was held at cabins and lodges in and around Wisconsin Dells, and its organizer, MightyTauren, planned its final instance for October 2019.
