			'''Furrydelphia 2019''', also known as '''Celtic Knights''', was a convention run by [[Furrydelphia]]. Taking place in August of 2019, it was the first iteration of Furrydelphia to not be held at the convention's inaugural location, the [https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/phlvfdt-the-alloy-king-of-prussia/ DoubleTree Valley Forge hotel], instead being held at the [[wikipedia:Valley_Forge_Casino_Resort\|Valley Forge Casino Resort]]. The convention hosted two guests of honor, writer and illustrator [https://x.com/rukiscroax Rukis] and author [https://x.com/KyellGold Kyell Gold].
			== Venue ==
			Following the completion of [[Rocky’s Roastery (Furrydelphia 2018)\|Rocky's Roastery]], Furrydelphia sought a new venue due to rapidly increasing attendance. Remaining within the area of [[wikipedia:King_of_Prussia,_Pennsylvania\|King of Prussia, Pennsylvania]], the convention decided to relocate to the Valley Forge Casino Resort, announcing the change in a [https://x.com/Furrydelphia/status/1057331319263367168?s=20 social media post] in October of 2018. The new space would go on to host one additional iteration of the convention, that being [[Back to Con (Furrydelphia 2021)\|Back to Con]] in 2021, following the [[Virtualcon (Furrydelphia 2020)\|all-virtual convention]] held in 2020 due to the [[wikipedia:COVID-19\|COVID-19]] pandemic.

			== Theming ==
			Furrydelphia 2019 was officially named "Celtic Knights," being themed around the culture of the [[wikipedia:Indo-European_languages\|Indo-European]] people known as [[wikipedia:Celts\|Celts]]. Promotional materials for the convention, including graphics featured on the official website and subsequent social media accounts, displayed imagery based on traditional [[wikipedia:Celtic_art\|Celtic art]] and motifs such as swords, spiral-centric designs, and dragons.

			Celtic Knights was attended by 1,332 guests<ref>https://x.com/Furrydelphia/status/1164706318827106304?s=20</ref>, marking the first year the convention achieved a gross attendance exceeding 1,000.

			== Charity ==
			Furrydelphia continued to support [[Bella Reed Pitbull Rescue]], a local [[wikipedia:Pit_bull\|pit bull]] rescue serving Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, as the charity of choice for Celtic Knights, following two successful years of donations. Attendees raised $4,260 for the charity, a noticeable drop from the previous convention. This is the only time in Furrydelphia's history that a deficit in donations has occurred from year to year.

			== Dealers Den ==
