The first Central Midwest Furmeet was held on 11-12 September 2010 at Clinton Lake, Kansas campground Camp Bloomington West. It was conceptualized by Steel the Wolf and Riyeko. In May 2010 Riyeko posted on Fur Affinity "happy to announce that with Steels help and looking around, brainstorming and just basically getting to know each other, C.M.F. is going to take place this year in September, in a small place in Kansas."[1] Although Riyeko had to withdraw from the planning stage because of personal reasons, the event was still held. A grand total of 22 attendees were present.

2013[edit]
On April 22, 2013 Steel the Wolf posted:
| In the past few months I have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to organize and host CMF 4. I will be away for the entirety of this summer. When I come back I will have to be focused on my graduate school search, various projects, the GRE, and taking my general classes. All of this paints a picture that is incompatible with organizing the event.
I have had fun hosting CMF over the past three years, but I have arrived at the unfortunate reality of being a college student preparing for graduate studies. I apologize to those who will inevitably be let down. I still have all of the assets and information for hosting the event and would be willing to give guidance if anyone would like to take up the mantle.[3] |
