If your town has any sort of weekly market or weekend activities, you can attend with a non-fursuiting friend (i'm the only fursuiter in my area as well.). ^^
For example, my town has a monthly "First Friday Artwalk" where all the shops and gallaries in town are open til about ten pm. We also have a weekly growers market on satudays in the spring summer and fall. Both are fun to attend in suit, because there are always lots of people that want hugs, high-fives and pictures.
