Had another fun year at ConNooga, in Chattanooga TN. Mr. Raccoon and Goat had an exhausting weekend vending during the day and exploring at night. The one thing that always stands out to us about this show is the vibrant nightlife. They host drag shows, Burlesque (and "boylesque"), not to mention a full 18+ vendor room and panels. During the day they divide the con into multiple themes "tracks" for you to follow based on your interest. There is also a large furry community here. We got to see a lot of furries from Furry Takeover located near by in North Carolina.

^ Mr. Raccoon & Goat failing at connect four! There may be some disagreement on who won...or did we both somehow lose?
^ This is the mascot for the Soft Landings Water Fowl Rescue.... i cant believe i met a celebrity! She was so mindful and demure.
^ Amazing Forest Spirit cosplay!
^ Raccoons Tankatsu ramen from Two Ten Jack. I also really recommend the Gyoza. I have no idea how they make them so crispy....i am legit drooling as i type this. This restaurant may be worth a trip back. Also the staff was cool and down with the furries!
^ French dip at the Pickle Barrel - It is an adorably tiny bar made of wood that only takes up a corner. Amazing staff, amazing vibes, and amazing food.
^ The Hotel Bo's pool is open most of the year and is heated to 85F. It was so fun seeing the steam coming off the pool at night with the lights reflecting off the water. I recommend requesting a pool room when booking, there is not extra fee.
^ Hotel Bo will always be my favorite place to stay in Chattanooga.
^ The Pawstar booth at ConNooga! This year we did a smaller booth since we were splitting our stock with FurSquared this weekend. The staff, volunteers, and attendees at this show are always so sweet.
