3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Compact carve-out room block inside a 2,000-room Gaylord mega-resort
Every R13 peer either buys out the entire host hotel (BLFC, AquatiFur, Babyfur Con) or runs alongside non-fur business at a normal mid-size hotel. CFC is the inverse: a Year-1 con of ~1.2K capacity sharing a 2,000-room AAA Four-Diamond mega-resort with cruise tours, corporate trade shows, and casino guests, where the Gaylord agreed to physically cluster all CFC guests into one compact block.
Maryland-law-driven 21+ ID gate with primary/two-secondary stack
Most 21+ peers cite their age gate as a community-norm choice. CFC explicitly cites Maryland state regulations and liability as the legal compulsion, then runs the most exhaustive primary/secondary ID stack of any researched peer.
Federal-workforce-aware Code of Conduct with a Maryland easter egg
No R13-peer CoC carries a carve-out for off-duty federal employees. CFC''s §3 explicitly preserves the right to wear logos of Federal Agencies, MD and VA state-government departments at the con, recognising the audience is structurally a DMV one (DC + Maryland + Virginia, the term used in the May 2026 newsletter).
