Wall-2-Wall
Fur Bear Conclave
2010
March 5-7, 2010
This event seems to have taken on a life of it's own, with the
cooperation of so many guys and clubs. The various bear groups, all of
which are no more than 2 hours from Detroit. This is the continuing
effort of the bear community working together in our area. Each group
added something to the weekend and by that effort act as emissaries to
the rest of the community. We get a massive turnout and everyone seems
to have a good time.
During the weekend there is food, music (combo "Classic House and a
'Rub and Grind' Dance" ) and lots and lots of Bears and "bear-types".
Some of the most friendly guys and all down to meet. We've listed a
number of hotels in the area (less than $20 cab ride in most cases),
for those who may party a bit more than a little. (This is not a
comprehensive list and may change from time to time.) We have a lot of
independent bears down as well. Some from the "thumb area" of
Michigan, from as far as Indianapolis, to Minneapolis and Columbus.
