Links/Announcement for the 22nd-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference/Expo

http://www.thenewstribune.com/soundlife/story/1041929.html



Beginning a search for lake monster tales, Lindsay Selby starts with reports that are extremely difficult to determine, since they deal with a lake in Siberia that's situated 100 miles from the nearest town. Nonetheless, some serious individuals, possessing impeccable credentials, have reported the presence of a large creature of indeterminate species in the waters of this remote lake. Selby chronicles the reports of the elusive...and isolated...monster reported to inhabit a remote lake in an area of Russia still vastly underexplored. Elsewhere, Mike Dash has something to say about lake monsters, too, as well as the proliferation of certain local legends concerning bodies of water, in 'The Lake That Has No Bottom...'. Meanwhile, another type of monster, long relegated to the halls of myth and legend, has inspired another search, as reported in Richard Muirhead: Muirhead's Mysteries: The Dragons of Sussex - Part One.

The Tri-State Bigfoot Study Group will host the 22nd Annual Bigfoot Conference / EXPO the weekend of May 14th to 16th, 2010. The following activities will take place and there is a list of tentative speakers and their brief bio (if available) to this point on January 24th.

The weekend will kick off with a meet and greet on the evening of Friday the 14th. Those speakers or special guests that have made it in to that point will be there. The meet and greet will begin at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. a buffet dinner will be available in the lodge. (Location of the buffet to be announced). I added this to the Friday meet and greet as I though it would be a great way for everyone to hang out longer without having to worry about going somewhere to grab an evening meal. The cost of the buffet will be about the same as it was during the conference in 2009, which if I recall was $14.95.

Saturday there are no activities scheduled until the conference. It will kick off at 4 p.m. There will be a dinner break around 6:30 or 7 with a dinner buffet. The conference is scheduled to last until around 10 p.m. There will be a required $5 donation at the doors. In return for the $5 you will receive a ticket. At intermission there will be a drawing for a door prize. The person with the winning ticket will receive at least $100. There are also plenty of seats still available if you wish to reserve VIP seats. Once you see the scheduled speakers / presenters you may want those VIP seats.

TODD NEISS from Sandy, Oregon. Todd first spoke at my conference in 2002. He will be back and promises not to disappoint. His bio is available by going to http://www.eobic. net and clicking the link for the conference.

ROB MC CONNELL from Ontario Canada. Rob hosts the X-Zone paranormal radio show nightly on the internet and on am / fm radio as well as TV. (Bio yet to come).

TOM YAMARONE from Pleasanton, California. Tom is a singer / song writer and has had a serious intrest in Bigfoot for years. He has also attended or helped organize many events in California.

BOB GIMLIN from Yakima, Washington. Need I say more? Bob is the only living eyewitness to the events of Friday October 20th 1967 at Bluff Creek, California when Roger Patterson took film of what appears to be a Bigfoot. I am not 100% sure if he will be speaking but he will be in attendance for you to meet and maybe ask a question or get a photo taken with him.

Another surprise guest or two may be in attendance. Keep an eye on the web site and your in box for updates.

On Sunday the 16th I will once again host a "Guided Tour" of the park to various incident locations. This will kick off at 12 noon.

Attached to this e-mail is a form to reserve VIP seats. If you intend to reserve seats you may want to do it quickly as 10 seats are already spoken for. Seat assignment will be done in the order of receipt of reservations and payment for such. Just e-mailing me and telling me you are going to reserve seats will not save your seat(s).

If you have any questions / comments, feel free to write me. If you need to know prices for the lodge rooms / cabins, go to the conference web site and click the link near the bottom for that information. I hope to see you this year at the 22nd Annual Bigfoot Conference / EXPO.
