Stuart Tomlinson of The Oregonian on June 07, 2008, posted information on the RoseFest Parade in Oregon.
“It appears from this float that Sasquatch, Bigfoot or whatever you want to call the mythical creature of Northwest forests, is looking for a new home — he’s riding the Oregon Realtors Float.”

“Three rooms, with river view please, privacy preferred. Bigfoot on the Oregon Realtors float.”
In breaking news, some surprising new video has surfaced of this swinging Sasquatch. No rumors of a massacre involving this Bigfoot, however, have been tied to this footage. Yet.
For Cryptomundians, ah, this specific Sasquatch suit has become very familiar.
This was the same kind of suit used to fake out the BFRO by Penn & Teller’s production company, when the “Showtime” debunkers created the hoax Sonoma Bigfoot video and did totally fool the BFRO.
These suits are the now widely available Bigfoot/Sasquatch costumes from McAvene Designs of North Hollywood, California. The suits are fitted for muscular actors of the correct size (6’7″), and the one pictured mirrors what appears on the Penn & Teller program and in the Oregon float.
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.
