About HarrisFurg
HarrisFurg is a brand-new convention for the city of Harrisburg. We understood the task at hand when deciding to pick Harrisburg. But we also understood that Harrisburg would be a great place for a brand-new con. From the beautiful bridges, capital building and wonderful rivers.
Did someone say chocolate? That's right, nearby is the great Hershey park and chocolate world! So, while at the con, feel free to have some fun at Hershey Park, only 25 min drive from the con space!

Owner of HarrisFurg. I had been involved in the fandom since 2021, after switching from the brony fandom in 2020. I am always there for anyone and is willing to help at any time, as long as I am free. I want nothing more than to help the community grow even better. I believe that everyone has their own choices and everyone is free to be and think how they want to! Everyone also deserves a 2nd chance, that is why HarrisFurg is open to everyone. I also staff FD as public safety

Owner of HarrisFurg. I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Blue, though you may also know me as Jacob.

Board Member of HarrisFurg. My name is Rocky Red Panda, though many of you may also know me as George.
For a big part of my life, I've dedicated myself to the convention scene. After graduating with a degree in Digital Design, I built a career as an illustrator, graphic designer, filmmaker, and storyteller. Over the last ten years, I've had the privilege of traveling across the country selling my artwork at conventions, meeting thousands of incredible people, and becoming part of a community that has given me more than I could ever repay.
Giving back has always been at the heart of everything I do.
One of my biggest inspirations is Keith Haring. He once asked himself: "Would I be happy if I didn't have any money? Yes. Would I be happy if I had money? Yes. Would I be happy if I gave all my money away? Yes." That idea has always stuck with me. Art isn't just something you create—it's something you share. If I can make even one person smile each day, then I've done my job.
That's why I'm here.
I'm honored to lend my experience as an artist, convention vendor, and creative professional to help make HarrisFurg the best furry convention Central Pennsylvania has to offer. Whether it's behind the scenes, online, or at the convention itself, my goal is to help build a welcoming community where everyone feels like they belong.
I can't wait to meet all of you.
See yinz at con!
