Furries Take Over KDKA Morning News
PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) - The 20th annual Anthrocon Convention is taking place in Pittsburgh this weekend.
To help celebrate, Razz and Tycoon took over Studio K during the Friday morning cut-in with KDKA-TV.
Watch Here:
It's the 11th time Anthrocon has come to Pittsburgh and 6,500 to 7,000 people are expected to attend a public parade Saturday at 2 p.m.
According to Visit Pittsburgh, Anthrocon will generate $ 6.3 million locally this weekend.
Visit Pittsburgh's Craig Davis said there's a bit of a love affair between Anthrocon and Pittsburgh.
"We have really embraced them over the 11 years they have been here. It's become a spectator sport. People like to come down and watch them, and they liked to be watched. So, it's a really great symbiotic relationship of respect for each other."
