Bigfoot Bash coming to Michigan Magazine Museum July 23

Legend and reality will meet on Friday, July 23 at the first Bigfoot Bash at the Michigan Magazine Museum, 3309 North Abbe Road, in Comins.

The three-day bash will provide a serious study of Bigfoot in Michigan with dashes of fun and live entertainment. Comins is the "heart of Bigfoot country," with 35 documented sightings, said event organizers.

Several guest speakers are scheduled to appear during the weekend festivities to share stories of their own Bigfoot sightings.

Phil Shaw will lead the stream of guest speakers at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 24, with a presentation on the historical and amusing side of Bigfoot. Shaw graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor's degree in science.

At 1 p.m., architect Sanjay Singhal will share his childhood stories of seeing Bigfoot in South Dakota. Singhal graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor's degree in architecture. He also has a Master's degree from the University of Notre Dame.

BF SIGHTINGS & ORCHARDS LINKED?

Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Ohio. These states have a high level of Bigfoot sightings as well as all sorts of orchards dotting their landscapes. From the apples and cherries of Michigan and Washington to the pears of Oregon and the paw paw of Ohio, these areas are ripe for the possible glimpse of Bigfoot.

Has this road been gone down before? Perhaps, but not with the extensive network Charles Porter brings to the table. See, Chuck, an avid outdoorsman lives in Parkdale, Oregon; located within Hood County. Pear and apple orchards line both sides of Highway 35 as it winds up and over Mt. Hood. The Cascades of both Washington and Oregon have been the locale of many past sightings.

Chuck Porter is a man without fear. He is not afraid to make new friends, talk to the old timers, and explore areas that other folks may not have the courage to explore. He can be our part time eyes and ears for an area that many other BF Researchers can only dream of going.

The word is out in Parkdale, Oregon and the Hood River area that Bigfoot may one day wander through a pear orchard for a snack. When Bigfoot does grab a bite, our man in the field will be the first to know.

Did I mention that Chuck is a beer brewer also? A darn fine one at that. His new line of beers will be out soon and on the market. We will be the first to report that as well.

As this is the BFRLC, and food is part of our club, and every living creature needs to eat to live, please look for future postings on Bigfoot and subsistence – I believe some of the theories that the BFRLC puts forth will amaze you. Here’s a tasty treat….Bigfoot and the Indiana Banana – the paw paw. But let’s save that until our appetites are ready for it. Until next time…
