About Oklacon 2010
Oklacon is an annual anthropomorphics convention in Oklahoma. Through outdoor activities, games, art, and music, Oklacon brings together some of the most talented, creative, and down-right cool individuals in the furry community for a weekend of fun.
Oklacon is markedly different from other furry conventions. Instead of the often-cramped, nose-bleed pace of hotel conventions, Oklacon embraces the wide open spaces in Roman Nose State Park. We offer the most relaxed convention atmosphere, where guests warm up around the campfire under the stars, hunt each other in games of Predator and Prey (put on by our great friends at Feral!), and hike along the woody, winding trails of the park. We have a storied tradition for providing an experience that is unparalleled by other conventions, and are proud to be the first and longest-running outdoor-format convention in the United States. Oklacon is also the best-value furry convention in the United States. Our registration is one of the most affordable in the country, and even the most basic registration level includes basic lodging and at least three meals included. (Try getting that kind of value at a hotel con!)
A refreshing alternative to the 'same old song and dance', Oklacon is a convention with a strong return rate and great feel. While we have inspired a number of spinoffs across the country, we remain the first and largest outdoor furry convention in the United States. We sport a diverse group of attendees, about half of which each year are returning as they have every year since the beginning, and the other half making Oklacon their first furry convention ever. We are both seasoned outdoorsmen, and brand new at this tent-pitchin' thing. No matter from what walk of life you come from, we think you will find a home with us, and we know that you, like many of us, will form life-long friendships through this unique and special experience.

Guests of Honor
Balto, AKA Albert C. Pena, is a freelance cartoonist and furry artist who made his first professional appearance at San Diego Comic Con in 1995. Born in Canal Zone, Panama, Balto entered the furry fandom only a few years ago when he attended his first furry con at Califur in 2005. In addition to his accomplishments as a furry artist, Balto has created several mainstream ventures including the "Critter County" comic strip published on the web and in several newspapers nationwide, as well as the comic book series "Orville", which was distributed nationally through Diamond Distributors. In addition to comics, Balto has created works for hire for various private companies including Christian publishing giant BB Kirk Bride. His artistic influences include Don Bluth, Chuck Jones and John Alvin.
Balto has further served as vice president of the Southern California Cartoonist Society (SCCS), a chapter of the National Cartoonist Society. He is an avid collector of original animation art, and enjoys fossil hunting on weekends.
Oklacon is excited and proud to host Balto as our artist Guest of Honor at the eighth installment of the first and largest outdoor furry convention in the United States. Check out his amazing work on his FurAffinity page, or in person at Oklacon!
