there hasn’t been one really thus far.  The reason John Riley and Gary created Drenched Fur was to give the local gay male community an activity that they can enjoy together.  This year the guys that help create Drenched Fur decided to expand our involvement with the local community and try a bear bar outing.  Perhaps there really is a community that just hasn’t come together yet.  Last night was an amazing first step in bringing together guys from here and not so near.  We enjoyed a great experience seeing all of you and many more turn out for what we hope was the first of many events to come.  Your attendance and support on Friday  was truly appreciated.</div><div class="yiv1544040303MsoNormal">  </div><div class="yiv1544040303MsoNormal">Also, we want to say Congrats to Jared on
