Temporary 2009 Website Now Up

This temporary placeholder website has been established to communicate important information regarding Oklacon 2009. In a few weeks online preregistration will be opened up, and more information on the upcoming events and the announcement of our next Guests of Honor will be unveiled. In the meantime, be sure to join our current online forum, Oklacon_Talk on Yahoo Groups.

Improvements at Roman Nose State Park

Roman Nose State Park has once again expressed their appreciation of our respect for the beauty and fragility of the park by announcing improvement plans for Group Camp Site #2, otherwise known to Oklacon attendees as Turkey Roost. Significant improvements to the kitchen facilities, a complete remodeling of the cook's quarters and communal bathrooms, and the addition of heat to the A-Frames are all poised to make Oklacon 2009 not only the best outdoor furry convention yet, but also the most comfortable.

Change in Organizational Structure

After six years of successful Oklacon productions, our favorite tradition will be produced by the same leadership and same people for the same charity, but under a different holding company. Read more.

Calling All Volunteers!

We Need Running Mates for '09

The board is looking for willing volunteers to serve as convention staffers for Oklacon 2009. Positions we are looking to fill include Art Coordinator, Events Coordinator, Kitchen Coordinator, Security Coordinator, and Volunteer Coordinator. In addition, we are looking for volunteer chefs, DJ's, performing artists, and shuttle drivers who are wiling to lend their weekend to support one of the most deserving animal sanctuary charities ever, Safari's Animal Sanctuary.

Room Party Schedule Coming

The group that produces Oklacon has a long tradition of working closely with our 'sister conventions', who operate in different regions for the same purpose: to benefit 501(c)(3) charities that promote the health and protection of animals. We regularly travel to nearby conventions and host Oklacon room parties to spread the word about the good deeds our group does for our charity, Safari's Animal Sanctuary, and to invite attendees to help us in 2009. A full room party schedule will be posted on this site in the new few months as the 2009 convention season kicks off!
