Our new Round-Up logo was designed by Wayne Barnes of Ohio. Thanks a ton Wayne. You rock
The Yakima Bigfoot Round-up 2014 presented by the Friends of Bob Gimlin and the Yakima Valley Museum begins just three weeks from today and the excitement is building to fever pitch now!
Ticket sales are going well. Thank you purchasing if you are coming. A few tickets left so get them fast!
This event, like many conferences, needs sponsorship to cover a host of expenses in bringing in speakers of the calibre of Jeff Meldrum, John Bindernagel, Bill Munns and Bob Pyle.
We invite any potential sponsors to contact Tom Yamarone at [email protected] and let him know how you can financially support this tremendous gathering of the best in Bigfoot.
If you would like to donate items for the auction, please get in touch with Marc DeWerth by email at [email protected] or on Facebook messenger. Marc is our persuasive auctioneer and also the genius behind the Ohio Bigfoot Conference. We are grateful that Marc has volunteered his services.
If you have any bigfoot related items you want to find a nice new home for let Marc know and he’ll make arrangements with you on how to get them to us.
We are very thankful to those who have already sponsored and donated.
Okay one and all, Tom Yamarone has set up the official page of Yakima Bigfoot Round-up 2014.
This is where you will find all the info you are going to need and to get updates on everything.
So let us know if you’d like to be part of this.
Tom, Bob and I thank you.
And thanks to those sent good wishes during my illness the last few days. I feel better today and am hoping I am on the road back to being my fruitbat self. I think watching Monty Python episodes in bed when I was laid low also helped!
