Posted by: Craig Woolheater on April 24th, 2007
The word is out that an event is planned in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Patterson/Gimlin film.
The 40th anniversary is October 20, 2007.
The event is being planned for the Arcata, CA area by a committee comprised of Jason Valenti, Lori J. Bayne and Michael Birkinshaw.
The confirmed speakers as of now are:
Christopher Murphy
M.K. Davis
Kathy Strain
Thom Powell
John Miles
Jason Valenti
Roger Knights
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
I’LL BE THERE!
FYI, Arcata is in the deepest coastal heart of the Sasquatch habitat, with a recent report of two creatures wading in a nearby lagoon, and many other sightings all thru the area’s wooded mountains, plus it’s only a couple of hours mountain driving from Willow Creek and you-know-what!
Here’s a chance to combine a celebratory event with an opportunity to scout around the local wildlands! Altho rural, Arcata and nearby Eureka offer many hospitality facilities, dining spots and beaches to wander to your heart’s content!
Redding is 4 hours east on Hiway 299, a gorgeous drive.
I can’t wait, and I hope to meet you there!
fuzzy,
I plan to be there as well. Look forward to meeting you there.
Check here for 41 Humboldt County Reports, including Arcata/Eureka.
Hope you are able to give us updates from the symposium. Number of reported sightings and a state by state breakdown. The most valid footprints, handprints and film, DNA if possible.
What’s the year around climate like in Arcata?
The potential food supply for a Sasquatch in that region of California? Must be someway to capture one of those BigFellas.
Bob: Food – usual woodland fare, deer and other small mammals, lots of coastal undergrowth, shellfish from lagoons, fish from rivers etc…
Weather – heavily influenced by ocean breezes, moderate temp, cool in summer, tolerable in winter, a very pleasant environment.

Sounds awesome, can’t wait for the 40th anniversary! 🙂
Thanks fuzzy, Great amount of Info, I have it bookmarked.
This is great. A big pat on the back to Bob and John for leading the way in representing every one interested in this subject in such a dignified way, they are both first class. Larry Battson, Wildlife Educational Services, Inc.
