In terms of bed spots in the barge houses, we are already completely full! There is a chance that some bed spots will free up in two weeks if people fail to pay. This would be preceded by an announcement. If you are willing to camp, you still have a chance to sign up for the con right now! Thank you for the massive interest! 🏕
It happened! FurryEST 2023 is, for now, at capacity! If you missed out on registering then do not fret, as there's a chance that some bed spots open up in two weeks time, at which point we will announce when the registrations re-open!
If you have attempted to upload your badge image in the past few days and ran into trouble, the bug should now be squished and gone! If you didn't realize you even could upload a badge image, here's your reminder! Head over to https://furryest.org/reg/furryest-2023/badge to put one up! 🖼
Wow! Time really flies quick doesn't it! FurryEst is already in a month and a half! So it's about time for some information about payments, transport and Dealers' Den!
First off, payment deadline for attendees tenting is coming up! You have only until June 11th (that's in 12 days!) to pay or your spot could be given to someone more eager to attend and pay.
Secondly, as was the case on previous years, there will be free transport from Rapla to FurryEst (and on 16th, from the convention to Rapla)! On 13th the transport starts from 14:00 and the possible places to be picked up are Rapla train station or Rapla bus station. On the 16th the transport back to Rapla starts from 10:30 and you can be dropped off at Rapla train station or Rapla bus station. To reserve a transportation spot, please contact @Clanga on Telegram! As usual, first come, first served!
And finally... Dealers' Den! While it is fine to be selling your wares or take commissions throughout the convention as long as it doesn't hog up convention space, then we would like to see whether there would be enough artists interested in selling stuff to warrant a dedicated Dealers' Den! It would be an event running approximately 1.5 to 2 hours on the 15th. There would be guaranteed space for 8 artists, however it would probably be possible to fit more than that, if there really is that much demand. Please contact @Clanga on Telegram if you would be interested in reserving a spot as a dealer and/or would like to get more information.

Opening ceremony has been delayed by 30 minutes... Yes indeed, it's delaycon time! Find Renno at Events Tent in 15 minutes time!
If you are trying to solve the treasure hunt, then one clue does guide you towards a point in a crop field (farmland with a single type of plant). Please do not go in the crop field but rather look for the clue at roughly the closest point you can get to without trampling any crops. In addition, since some of the clues can be difficult to solve, feel free to ask @Clanga for extra clues!
Canoe race has been replaced by Crash Bandicoot Tournament due to high likelihood of bad weather! Consequently, canoe race is pushed into tomorrow 12:30.
The saunas will take some time to heat up. And in case of the small sauna, everyone that goes to check it will delay it from getting ready. In addition, the small sauna's door is slightly broken and does not simply "close"... You need to keep the rope between the door and the door frame to close it. If you can't close the sauna door properly then please don't mess with it.
Important treasure hunt announcement! Due to an insane neighbor land owner, clues (5) and (6) are no longer in their original spots. They can both now be found in the Large Barge. In addition, every time you go in nature, it's a good idea to check yourself for ticks afterwards! Stay safe, and happy hunting <3
And remember, you may use any and all external help - friends, online maps, google, even AI.
On that insane land owner - please do not go into any crops or tall grass.

Icebreakers! Be aware that Star and Crush aren't at the con. Ask a random person instead of them.
Once you finish the icebreaker, show to @Sanqui or send a photo on Telegram to get a point for your tribe!
Photo challengers! Good job doing most of the challenges so far! Six new challenges have appeared on the board and more may come.
