North American Symposium on Sasquatch Research

On April 12, 2008, the Greater Boston Bigfoot Institute (GBBRI) will celebrate its grand opening with the North American Symposium on Sasquatch Research (NASSR), which will feature two unique events.

From 12:00 – 4:00 p.m., GBBRI will be open to the public, featuring family writing activities, product demonstrations, music and author readings, and a ribbon-cutting by Mayor Tom Menino at 1:30 p.m.

From 6:00 – 10:00 p.m., GOOD Magazine is co-sponsoring a gala event, the proceeds of which will support 826 Boston’s free writing and tutoring programs for kids. A mere $20 registration fee will get you in the door, free drinks, and a one-year subscription to Good Magazine. Plus, the event will feature some very special guests, a real, live Cryptozoologist, Bigfoot films, and other surprises.

826 Boston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

(Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman’s appearance is a voluntary, not paid, contribution to 826 Boston’s efforts.)

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
