We're happy to introduce everyone to our fantastic charity for 2016: Animal Magic!
Animal Magic is operated by Mark Rosenthal and is dedicated to exotic wildlife conservation and life science education. For 34 years they have educated audiences, sharing knowledge, respect and appreciation for the animals that share our planet.
Educating the public and promoting conservation are just a couple of the ways they show their commitment to the animal kingdom. When local animal control officers are confronted with a dangerous exotic, they're sent in to rescue the often illegally obtained “pet.” Their fully licensed “Haven” program also accepts most exotic animals (including venomous snakes) from private citizens. They are dedicated to helping those who have discovered that owning this type of “pet” is unfair to the animal, potentially dangerous and far more difficult than they imagined.
Mark and his animals will be doing shows and Q&A for us this year and we look forward to having them with us!
Check them out at www.iwantanimalmagic.com and we look forward to seeing all of you at Motor City Furry Con 2016!
Hey there folks! We just got the site updated here for our new theme, Steam City. Though this is only the first of many updates we will be doing, more arts and news posts and such are on their way, as well as some announcements. Stay tuned for more updates!
To all of our convention members,
On July 8th, 2015, our present chairman, Indy, submitted his resignation.
Indy made great contributions as he and a small group of friends worked hard in a short period of time to create an event which continues in spirit of Furry Connection North. A record breaking first year convention and a significant growth in attendance for the second year were the result of his efforts. We all have many great memories of these first two years.
The Motor City Furry Con staff works all year long to bring one fantastic weekend event for our attending members. We dedicate ourselves to bring you the best convention experience possible. This commitment takes a lot of time from our lives. We have to balance other commitments with the time we would often rather give to this convention. This leads to difficult decisions for us all.
Above all, the convention exists for you attending members. Indy has decided that the best thing for himself, the convention, and all of its wonderful attendees is to pass the torch.
We wish Indy the best as he focuses on his career, his new marriage, and any other endeavors he pursues. It has been an honor to work with him these past two years as we make our dream come to life.
Razor, Programming Director and board member, was nominated to take the chairman position after the 2016 convention. He has graciously agreed to fill the position for 2016 as well. Razor's dedication, organizational skills, and his fun and welcoming personality are a great asset to the convention. He has, on many occasions, demonstrated devotion to this convention and enthusiasm for the future of its success. We are all very excited to move forward with him as our Chair as we continue working on the 2016 convention.
The 2016 Convention preparation continues on schedule and we are working hard to bring you an even better event each year. We look forward to seeing all of you in April.

Thank you,
