3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
An 18-and-up Con With a $5 Child Tier
TTFC defaults to an 18+ membership posture in its Code of Conduct, but ships a structured minor scale alongside it: a $5 Child membership for attendees aged 15 and under (new for 2026), free entry for children 5 and under, and a self-attended pathway for 16-17 year olds via a notarized parental consent form. A staffed "Family and Teen Events" room runs Friday through Sunday with G-rated programming, and after-9pm events are explicitly carved out as adult-only. The combination, adult primary con + a published, priced family lane, is unusual among 18+ regional furcons, which typically exclude minors categorically.
From the Marriott Southern Hills to the Renaissance Convention Center
TTFC ran its first four editions (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023) at the Marriott Tulsa Hotel Southern Hills, then moved north to the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center for 2024. Attendance crossed the venue change sharply: 1,137 in 2023 (last Marriott year) to 1,353 in 2024 (first Renaissance year) to 1,557 in 2025. Fursuiter counts followed the same curve, with 390 suiters in the 2024 parade, almost double the 225 from the 2022 Marriott edition. The Renaissance is staying for 2026, with a $149 single-king or double-queen block and free parking in the South and East lots.
T.A.C.O., the 501(c)(3) That Year-Rounds the Con
The legal entity behind TTFC is the Tulsa Anthropomorphic Charitable Organization (T.A.C.O.), an Oklahoma 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose published mission is "educational community programming that educate the public about anthropomorphic arts, and animal welfare." T.A.C.O. lists a seven-person board (President Koori Kitty, VP Aloha, Secretary Momma Shark, Treasurer Moonfur plus three at-large directors) and a four-person executive team for the convention itself, including a dedicated VP of Marketing, uncommon for a regional furcon of this size. The charity-arm-first structure helps explain the four-edition streak with ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation, Bartlesville, OK), a 100% volunteer-run shelter that has been the beneficiary every year since 2022.
