Garden State Fur The Weekend
Garden State Fur The Weekend is New Jersey's newest furry convention. After three long years of working hard to get everything sorted and ready, New Jersey finally returned to the convention scene with an inaugural full-on convention in the Hyatt Regency New Brunswick Hotel.

"Today's Special," May 2-5, 2024:
While the convention has some rough beginnings, Shy Matsi took the reigns and led a great team to orchestrating an absolute smash of a convention! The theme focused on New Jersey's iconic diners. The Hyatt Regency New Brunswick played host to the convention, which featured virtual DJs playing live sets from across VRChat (including BeamFlare, XenoLePink,
Amyotte1,
BietroWolf, Gabasso, and Hexagon Jack under the moniker of Tim3k33p3er), while DJ JustCallMeLetty attended the convention live! A dance competition, fursuit games, and a VRChat Meet-and-Greet were amongst the many events, alongside a great Dealers Den. Supersponsors were treated to an expense-paid dinner at a local dinner. Likewise, while the highest tier known as "The Boss" was created as a joke and went for beyond $1,000, a few daring attendees actually bought into it, and were treated in the highest regard!
I was personally asked to host the Helluva Boss panel (which I passed off since I had literally walked into the hotel with lunch in my hands and had no equipment to actually do it...but I did give my consultation at least), and I found myself hosting the PC Gaming panel when its host failed to appear. Further, myself,
TJCoyote,
Littlfire15, Andromeda, and Weese set up a very successful VRChat portal at the meet-and-greet and for several days in the "zoo" area during the raves!
957 people attended the convention, making the convention the second-largest gathering for a first-time convention (seconded only by Las Vegas Fur Con of over 1,400 attendees), with over $6,000 raised for the Pipsqueakery wildlife rescue charity group!
