Furry Fiesta 2009 : February 20 - 22, 2009 - Addison, Texas

Furry Fiesta is Looking for volunteers!

Furry Fiesta needs volunteers to help with it's many panels, activities, and operations. By working just 15 hours over the length of the convention, you can earn a free membership for Furry Fiesta 2010.

The Furry Fiesta staff will need help with Registration, Security, Dealer's Den set-up and tear-down, Internet room set-up and tear-down, Charity auction, general clean-up, and more! You don't have to work in just one place; you can pick where you'd like to help, providing that there is a need for help there at the time.

If you don't work enough hours to earn a free Furry Fiesta 2010 membership, we'll still thank you with something special. And all volunteers will receive a hearty pawshake, a slap on the back, and the joy of knowing that Staff really appreciated the help!

Where, when, and why we need volunteers:
