It's official! RainFurrest will be having an artist alley for campers this year! While we have not finalized all the details, there are three very important notes about Artist Alley.

• You MUST have a Washington State Tax Permit to get a table in the Artists Alley. You can obtain info on how to do that on our Dealers Den page.
• The price for half a table will be $15 a day.
• To get space for Artist Alley, you MUST show up each day when sign-up opens for Artist Alley to get space. There will be no "get a space for the whole event" sign-up.

We have filled our room block, and now have an overflow hotel! - For more information please visit our Hotel page for more information!.

Happy Valentines Day, everyone! We would like to spread the love, and to show our support for the mate of our Guest of Honor at the same time. We are asking for some financial assistance from the attendees of our event to help get Nightfox over here from Germany so that Tani and Nightfox can be together at Rainfurrest. To do this, we have set up two methods to donate to the cause.

First, we have added the ability to add a "donation" item to your shopping cart in the registration system. This will let you add one or more multiples of 5$ to put forward as much money as you would like to donate.

Second, we have set up the the handy-dandy paypal link below to accept donations! All funds go straight to covering the cost of airfare for Nightfox from his home in Germany to Seattle. Simply fill out the amount, and click the button!

We would like to announce that we are looking for people to help translate the website into other languages. As you have probably noticed, at the top of the website we have several flag icons, but many of them don't do anything yet. We are wanting to help show our support of the international furry community by trying to get together a team of translators to help us translate the website. Bahanix has helped us a lot by providing a full French translation, and that gets us launched, but we're still looking for people who can help translate other languages, especially German.

If you would like to help us translate the website into another language, please contact us!

RainFurrest announces a contest to create a custom mascott, we want your creative juices flowing! There is a lot more information, please visit our Forums.
