Another Ohio Bigfoot Outing
Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 9th, 2006
There always seems to be a lot of Bigfoot gatherings in Ohio in the spring. Here’s word of another set to happen on Saturday, April 29, 2006.
According to a brief notice in the Sunday Cleveland Plain Dealer, there is to be a Bigfoot conference in Cambridge, Ohio:
If you’ve ever wondered whether Sasquatch was real, you might be enlightened at this gathering at the Salt Fort State Park Resort & Conference Center (on U.S. 22). It will feature speakers, including some who will give eyewitness accounts, plus supposed photos of the beast. The conference is 4-10 p.m. and is free. Lodging, of course, is not included. For lodging information and reservations, call 1-800-282-7275.
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.

It’s also worth mentioning that this is the only free bigfoot conference in the country, according to the website.
While it may be the only free Bigfoot conference in the country, there are others that are very reasonable in price as well.
For instance, there is the Annual Texas Bigfoot Conference that I organize.
The first 2 years, there was no admission fee. Speakers those years included John Bindernagel, Loren Coleman, Chester Moore, Smokey Crabtree, M. K. Davis and Scott Herriott.
In 2003, general admission was $5. Doors opened at 10 AM and the event wrapped at 8:30 PM. Not a bad return on your $5. The speakers were Loren Coleman, John Kirk, Alton Higgins, Bobby Hamilton, M. K. Davis, Chester Moore, Marc DeWerth, Randy King and Kriss Stephens. 9 speakers for $5!
In 2004, general admission was $10. Doors opened at 9 AM and the event wrapped at 9 PM. The speakers were Daryl Colyer, Jerry Hestand and Sharon Eby of the TBRC, Alton Higgins, John Kirk, Rick Noll, Jimmy Chilcutt, M. K. Davis, Chester Moore, Sue Lindley, Nick Redfern & Scott Herriott. 12 speakers for $10!
In 2005, we spread the event over 2 days. General admission was $10 per day. Doors opened both days at 9 AM, ending at 6 PM on Saturday and at 5:30 PM on Sunday. The speakers Saturday were Daryl Colyer, Alton Higgins, Rick Noll, Chris Murphy and Loren Coleman. On Sunday it was Kathy Moskowitz-Strain, John Freitas, Jimmy Chilcutt, Matt Crowley, Dr. Jeff Meldrum and Paul Cropper.
Sometimes you get what you pay for…
HI CRAIG, I LIVE IN OHIO I NEED TO TRY TO GO TO TEXAS AND CHECK OUT YOURS SOMETIME.. HAVE A GREAT DAY
The 2005 Texas Bigfoot Conference was just outstanding! Only the Willow Creek Meetings have been better (and only cause John Green and Bob Gimlin were there).
The lecture series in San Antonio at the Institute of Texan Cultures only costs $7, and you can hear Jeff Meldrum, Jimmy Chilcutt, and Rick Noll in May!
