When Furballs Strike (WFS) 48 - Kenmore Lanes Furbowl
Details
Our 48th When Furballs Strike is set for Saturday, February 17, and the theme will be "Roll Fur Initiative" celebrating tabletop gaming! We will have many board-game themed prizes in our raffle and some awesome giveaways for our Ultrasponsors!
Supersponsor/Ultrasponsor Gifts: The Special gifts for WFS 48 will be a 3x3 WFS logo magnet with our new website (www.bowlwfs.net, now live!) for Supersponsors, and Ultrasponsors get that, a holographic WFS decal plus an amazing gift, a 7-piece D&D complete dice set! They come in many vibrant colors (we sold out of Purple but have Emerald, Ruby or Marble Gray) and include a D4, D6, D8, two D10 (number & percentage), D12 and D20.
Those who pre-reg Ultrasponsor will get to reserve their choice of color for the dice sets, and at-event Ultrasponsors may choose from the remaining sets, while supplies last.
FURSUIT CHANGING/GROUP PHOTO
We have a dedicated room for fursuit changing/storage (behind the party room partition). Please be courteous to other attendees and only use this room if you need to, and try to space out usage so it doesn't overcrowd.
The fursuit group photo is taken at 2pm before bowling starts. When setting up for the photo please let shorter fursuiters be in the front, and spread out side-to-side as much as possible since the photo is taken as a panoramic.

Each registration comes with 2 games of bowling & shoe rental. To pre-reg, send your payment here via Paypal OR Venmo using the "Family & Friends" option: http://paypal.me/kijani / https://www.venmo.com/u/kijanilion
