Room block expanded! Overflow room block set up!
The room block for the MAIN FurFright hotel has been expanded. We only have 25 more rooms left for Friday and Saturday nights.Also I have set up the room block at the overflow hotel -- the Holiday Inn Express. The room rate is $99 and they give you free breakfast (continental, I'm sure--that's coffee/tea and pastries/muffins usually). The overflow hotel is located just 4 1/2 miles from the main FurFright hotel. To book a room, either call the reservation number (1-877-863-4780 or go to their webpage: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hotel/wbyus
The group code for BOTH hotels is: fur
For those of you who found the weakness in the HI online reservation system, the only screen the field for the "group code" is listed on is on the main page for each hotel (see above and our hotel page on the FF website). The field can be found in the "check availability box on the left margin. If you need to adjust dates or anything, you'll need to backtrack to the hotel's main page to re-enter the information. Cumbersome, yes, we know. *grins*
Also, be sure to double-check the address of the hotel you're booking. The MAIN hotel is on East Main. The OVERFLOW hotel is on Union Street.
The hotel/travel page will be updated with this info soon, as well as info on how the car-less travelers can get from one hotel to the other using the Waterbury bus system.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

FurFright Looking for Charities
We are looking for suggestions for animal-based charities we can support at the con this year. In particular, we are looking for a group who could come to the hotel to put on a presentation, preferably with live animals (but that's not mandatory).If you know of a worthy organization (they must be a registered non-profit) you would like to see us support, please let us know! (Also provide any contact info or webpage URL, if possible)
