2025 Special Guest

In keeping with the extra flourish of The Gala, we are proud to announce a special guest for FM 2025!

Rose is an artist and costume designer like no other and Briar and Spindle’s Magical Menagerie is a shop like no other. Blending both her love of costume design and plushie making, Rose designed her store to bring magic into this mundane world. Dressed in her hand-made costumes Rose brings her magical menagerie to local conventions. Sometimes she’s an elven dragon trainer selling baby dragons, or a magical satyr selling fairy frogs. Her plushies often have a bit of magic in them, as they are known to change colors in the sunlight or glow in the dark. Whatever character Rose is playing, and whatever kind of plush she is selling, her goal is always to bring a bit of magic to anybody who visits her.

She and her Magical Menagerie will be bringing their own twist of furry fantasy to the Gala!
