The Western Pennsylvania Fall Furry Weekend (a.k.a. WPAFW) is a time where people should be able to relax and enjoy themselves. Common sense and respect for others are usually sufficient to keep everybody happy. However, it is important to note a few rules that we expect everyone to abide by. This policy must be followed by all attendees, including staff members and volunteers.

WPAFW staff cannot permit violations of any local, state, or national laws or ordnances. We can and must discriminate against legal transgressions. We will take severe and immediate action against anyone who brings illegal drugs to the event, engages in vandalism, or blatantly violates law in a manner that would seriously compromise our relationship with the borough, community or hotel. Additionally, alcohol is not permitted anywhere in Fireman's Park, including the parking areas.

We do not allow mature subject matter to be displayed in areas where either minors, or adults who do not wish to see it, may be exposed to it. This includes explicit artwork, but also includes overtly mature discussions and excessive displays of public affection or the use of profanity. While we respect everyone's lifestyle choices, please remember that Fireman's Park is still open to the citizens of Apsinwall during our event. Parents may bring their children to use the playground equipment, especially if the weather is nice. We expect that all attendees will conduct themselves appropriately. We also expect those staying in the Hotel space to conduct themselves just as they would in any other business or restaurant while in the public areas.

WPAFW staff expects attendees to dress appropriately. Costumes and strange clothing are fine, but if you're showing too much skin or dressed in a manner that prominently displays sexual areas, you may be asked to cover up. Collars and leashes are fine, but overt bondage-related behavior is not acceptable in public -- so no dragging people around on leashes, please.

Minors must have parental consent to attend WPAFW. No one under 16 will be admitted to Furry Weekend without the presence of a parent or legal guardian. Attendees age 16 and 17 must have a notarized letter of permission from a parent or guardian to attend Furry Weekend, or the attendance of said individual.

Swift Fox and Silaria are the mediators between attendees and the community. If you have a problem with something involving operations, a WPAFW staff member, or another attendee, you must address it to Swift Fox or Silaria and not to local authorities. WPAFW will involve the local authorities at our sole discretion if it becomes necessary.

Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend reserves the right to revoke a member's registration if they break any portion of this policy. During the event, your wristband remains the property of Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend and must be worn on the wrist at all times If a staff member asks to see it, please present it to them.
