Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 15th, 2009
’09 Bigfoot Bash and Bounty, August 28 & 29th, Carson, Washington State
This free admission event takes place in the small Southern Washington town of Carson, on the Columbia River and all are welcome. It’s a fund raiser with family fun and some great guest speakers on the topic of Bigfoot…it is for the curious and the serious. Proceeds benefit the Carson/Stabler/Home Valley Business Association and this event is brought to you by the Skamania County Chamber of Commerce.
The speakers for 2009, include:
Dr Robert Michael Pyle: Robert Pyle is an author and naturalist. He is the author of Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide, a biological and literary look at Bigfoot, which received a Guggenheim Fellowship. He is the author of fifteen books including Wintergreen, Sky Time in Gray’s River, and several standard butterfly books such as The Butterflies of Cascadia. Bob maintains his strong interest in Bigfoot from his home in Gray’s River, Washington.
Joe Beelart: Joe is a great woodsman, author, and long time PNW researcher. Joe has been a recent guest on Bigfoot radio talk shows and is an excellent speaker. He was a big hit with the crowd last year and gives interesting and humorous accounts of local research activity and experiences. Joe will also have his research display booth set up including his Bigfoot track casts available to look at.
Henry Franzoni III: Henry’s involvement with Bigfoot research goes back many years. He has published and contributed to dozens of Bigfoot articles over the years and has been interviewed on numerous Bigfoot talk shows. After a decade of silence and avoiding any contact with Bigfoot Researchers, Henry has written a book. It is titled In the Spirit of Seatco, Sasquatch, Indians, Geography, and Science in the Nineteenth Century. It is unlike any other book ever written on the topic. Henry’s amazing and controversial new book combines Indian place names and native wisdom about Bigfoot with cutting edge science in an effort to understand the true but puzzling nature of the Bigfoot people he calls the “Seatco”.….could there be more to Bigfoot than meets the eye?
