Activities and Descriptions

These are some of the activites we have planned. This page will be updated gradually as the time for the event approaches. Stay tuned for further posts!

Offsite Events

Fursuit Trip Into Town

We'll be going into the nearby town of Wilburton for chaos with the fursuiters. Come along to watch the fun!

Cave Hike

Robbers Cave itself is within walking distance of the group camp. The start of the trail is literally about 100 yards from the rear of our camp. This is the least strenuous of the trails, but this is still a mildly demanding hike -- and the scenery is well worth it! Meet in front of the dining hall!

Marksmanship, Part 2

We'll be travelling to a nearby (unstaffed) rifle range run by the Oklahoma Department of Conservation for target practice. Range rules can be found on the website or elsewhere in the conbook. Bring your own weapons, ammunition, and hearing protection.

Outdoor Events

Predator Prey

Imagine the most insane game of tag you can, then give it a furry theme, and you have Predator Prey. The event will be held Saturday afternoon. Bring your running shoes and enjoy!

Campfire Begins

Join our resident pyromaniacs, Psyloce and Crazy John, for the lighting of the campfire.

Volleyball

We'll have a net and some volleyballs, and plenty of room to spread out and have fun. Fursuiters and non-suiters alike to join in on the fun!

Bocci Ball

Two teams go head to head in this simple but addictive game. The first member of your team tosses a ball, and the others try to get as close as possible. Simple -- except the other team is also trying to get close, while knocking your Bocci Balls out of the way. It's a game that mixes both luck and skill.

Horseshoes

A simple, friendly game of Horseshoes. Close counts!

Twister

Our hope is to create a twisted, tangled mass of fursuiters and those out of suit on our large outdoor Twister mat.

Marksmanship, Part 1

Learn the basics of gun safety, marksmanship, observation and concealment skills at this panel. Everyone can attend! No firearms will be present. We will be conducting various exercises to heighten your senses of observation, understand the basics of marksmanship and concealment skills, and gain a thorough understanding of gun safety and handling. Run by Travis.

Midnight Howl

Each night, we'll have ourselves a good howl at the sky. Meet at the Dining Hall at Midnight, and follow our staff member to a secluded location where you can howl to your heart's content!

Scavenger Hunt Turn-In

Turn in your items at the dining hall, at the registration desk.

Performance Events

Variety Show

A mix and match of performances to showcase the talents of our attendees and staff. Come to rehearsal and show it off and work with our A/V staff for any technical needs, then appear for the performance. Anything from puppet skits to dancing to comedy to skits to musical performances are part of this.

Corsi in Concert

Everyone's favorite mouse, doing a collection of somewhat off-color renditions of popular music. A guaranteed riot! Adults only.

Whose Paw Is This, Anyway?

Furry Improvisational Comedy where the audience is encouraged to participate and make the performers -- fursuiters and non -- do the wackiest Improv skits possible. Fun for performers and attendees.

Werewolf Demonstration

A demonstration of a game of Are you a Werewolf, done on stage, to permit spectators to watch and see how the game is played. A great demonstration, and preparation for the event later that evening.

Calamity Cougar's High Brow Iron Artist Event

The Cougar leads interested artists in the Acme of Iron Artist Events. Watch the artists create -- using the secret medium. Even they won't know ahead of time. Creations will be auctioned off in the Charity Swap Meet.

Dance

Our DJs will tear it up and make a memorable dance experience for fursuiters and everyone! Featuring Heros, PistolPup, Psyloce, and other guests!

Dead Dog Dance

One final blast before the end of the event!

Food Events

As a note, this year our attendance will be larger. We have plenty of food for everyone! However, there is a limit to how fast our kitchen staff can prepare it -- in many cases, they are having to work in batches. This means that if people line up and mob the kitchen, they may run out temporarily. More is being made. The meal events are intentionally long to give people time to stop by when they can.

Guest of Honor Meal

A special meal for supersponsors, select staff and guests, it is a special six-course gourmet meal created from scratch by our chef, Travis. Special dishes served by volunteer waitstaff create a memorable experience, with a menu to be posted as the event grows nearer. Includes soup, salad, fresh bread, appetizer, main course, and dessert!

Cooking Workshop

Forget about store-bought bread and make some real dough. Travis will guide you through basic bread steps. You'll learn how to handle and knead dough, form loaves, and bake for a perfect crust and crumb. This year, we'll be making fresh bread-loaves that will form the basis of sub-style sandwiches for dinner.

Charity and Presentation Events

Furry Swap Meet

This went very well last year, so we're bringing it back. Held in the standard auction format, this event comes with a twist. Here's how it works.

Bring your old furry-related merchandise
Whatever it sells for in the auction, you get half of that amount as a credit toward whatever you want to buy at the auction. The rest goes to charity, along with any unused credits.
Staff reserves the right to refuse any item, or to bundle items together from the same contributor to expedite sales.
You can bid on items even before your items sell. Everybody just squares up at the end.
If it doesn't sell, you take it back home.

So clean out those closets, garages, attics, etc. Find those plushies people gave you that you didn't have room for, or those old comics that you've read enough times. Turn your old stuff into new stuff, and help a worthy cause in the process.

Opening Ceremonies

The official start of the event, where you will meet the staff, find out any last minute announcements, and help launch the event toward a successful conclusion.

Closing Ceremonies

All good things must come to an end, and this is where final announcements, special thanks, and presentation of any awards can be made. A great chance to recap the whole event and bring it to a close.

MESA Meeting

By attending Wild Nights, you become a full voting member in MESA, the Missouri Exotic Species Arts Association, the organization that runs Wild Nights. This provides a chance for you to not only give feedback, but also have a vote and help select officers for the following year.

Outdoor Movie

Relax and unwind with a movie, complete with popcorn.

Crafting Events

Beadworking

Create your own custom necklace, bracelet, or choker, out of beads provided. Khemet will be on hand to assist you in your creation, providing help and advice and the materials and tools to make your creation come to life. A large span of time is provided for this event so people can come and go as they have time from other events.
The cost for this event is $8.00 to cover materials, payable at the registration desk.

Leatherworking

Create your own custom collar or bracelet out of leather. Items such as studs and other decorations will be provided, including D-rings and other attachments. Khemet and BlackDawg will provide tools, instruction, advice, and help you create something custom and memorable. A large block of time is provided so people can come and go as they have time available between other events.
Cost for this event is $15.00 to cover materials, payable at the registration desk.

Cooking

Learn from Travis the art of making sandwich bread, and then help prepare sandwiches for everyone using what you've learned. Learn some of the tricks of the trade including blooming yeast, kneading, rising, and baking. This event is free.

Panels and Roundtables

Fursuit Meet and Greet

An informal social event, open to suiters and non-suiters alike, to come together, talk about what got them involved in the fandom, and what their interests are. A great way to get to know people!

Crys the Hybrid: Gesture Panel

Get rid of those boring poses! A walk-through of basic flow with lines in your artwork.

Crys the Hybrid: Fursuit Panel

A basic panel on constructing completely foam-based heads. Crys will build a foam base during this panel and show how to go about it. We have an hour, she can build something. Bring your own stuff if you want to build, along with your questions.

Crys the Hybrid: Adult Panel

No minors! Q&A format. Ask what you want and Crys will attempt to draw it, or provide advice!

Furry Spirituality

Khemet will be running a small discussion group about general furry spirituality, encouraging others to share their views. This will run at about breakfast time on Sunday. Bring your coffee and open-mind to talk about shamanism, Christianity, paganism or whatever your unique beliefs... and how it relates to being a furry, and everyday life.

Writers Meet and Greet

Informal meet and greet for writers within the fandom to meet other writers and talk about your stories and other works. Hosted by Warnndog.

Writing for a Con Theme

Conbooks need stories. How do you create stories that match the theme of an event and contribute to the overall feel of the chosen theme? Hosted by Warnndog.

Canine Care

Please join Dr. Lauren J. Pryor for a demonstration of the proper methods of care for your canine companion. Includes tips on how to save hundreds of dollars with do-it-yourself veterinary skills!

Social Games

Are You a Werewolf?

Fun party game for 6 to 30 people. In what was a peaceful village, someone is murdered by werewolves every night. You must decide which of you it is, and remove them. The game continues until all the werewolves are caught -- or until all the villagers are gone. A fun social game of intrigue and fantasy.

Apples to Apples

The classic party card game, guaranteed to get wild, wacky, and a great way to get to know others. A card with a word is drawn by one player, who tells the others what he or she is looking for. The others play cards from their hands with words or phrases on them -- and the first player decides what matches best!
