Announcements:
Unfortunately, we must begin by announcing that John Green will not be able to attend. He wishes he could attend and spend the day with us, but he is unable to do so.
We understand completely and he wanted to impart that his health is very good right now.
We are also very excited to announce that a colleague of Dmitri Bayanov will travel from Russia for this event. Dmitry Pirkulov will represent the Hominology group and give us an overview of the evidence they have collected. The Russian investigators have always supported the Patterson-Gimlin film and we are thrilled to have them be a part of the Bigfoot Round-Up.
We are looking for a ride for one of the speakers at the event – Bill Munns.
He’ll be flying into Seattle and we’re looking for someone who might be able
to give him a ride to the event and back to the airport. (I believe flying in Friday morning and flying out Sunday evening. Portland might be an option if that’s better for you.)

Volunteers:
We know we will have the help of many of you throughout the weekend. Thank you in advance as the whole concept of this social-type conference is dependent on just that.
When it comes time to move the chairs and set up tables for dinner after the presentations on Saturday, we know it will go smoothly and quickly.
We’ll need help from some of you with the coordination of the pot-luck dinner on Friday
and a couple of people to manage the barbeque lunch on Saturday. We’re planning on having 8 – 10 volunteers signed up for 30 minute shifts to cook on Sat. so we don’t miss much of the event.
Also, as we get to the ranch, we’ll ask for help checking in the cars to the parking area,
and a few volunteers to help with registration. Please email or call one of us if you would be able to help with this.
Thank you. We’ll be in touch about other ways you could help with donations of drinks and other items for the event.
Thank you to all who have already donated most generously. We still would ask that you send your payment in promptly if you haven’t done so yet – especially for the dinner.
Please email us if you plan to camp. I’ll send another message out this weekend to the people camping at the ranch about the arrangements we have made.
We are thrilled that so many researchers, authors and enthusiasts are attending the Bigfoot Round-Up – that’s just what we intended with this event. We do intend to let you know who is coming to the round-up – guess we’ll have a better idea in a couple of weeks.
Thank you!
We’re looking forward to sharing this weekend with all of you!
- Tom, Bobo, Paul and Bob
