Drenched Fur is celebrating its 11th year with a fun filled 'Pop Goes the 80s' theme weekend for the broader bear community from Erie, PA and beyond. Over 200 bears, cubs, and admirers will be attending Drenched Fur 11 the weekend of April 9th-12th. We invite you to join us for some rad times!

Guests are welcome to support this year's charity, Erie's own Community Health Net by making a $1 donation and putting their name on display around the bar.

And of course, the reason for the weekend is the exclusive "after hours" event at the Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park Resort on Saturday April 11th.
