Call for BIGFOOT Speakers, 2009 Willow Creek Bigfoot Days

Hello all,

I've been asked by the Willow Creek Bigfoot Days Committee to put out an invitation to all Bigfooters to speak or present at the Bigfoot Days event here on Labor Day weekend, the first weekend in September. There has long been expression of a desire to see the event become more of a Bigfoot-related thing, and not just a small-town community parade and celebration. Perhaps this year we can bump it up a little, advertise that we'll have speakers and a more visible presence of Sasquatch in the event, and put this event on the Bigfoot map in a real way.

Since we don't always have a 40th or 50th anniversary of something BF-related, perhaps this can be a yearly meeting opportunity for the Bigfooting community. Also, it could be a first step out for you on a trip up to Bluff Creek.

This would not be a paying job, but it may be possible for some travel expenses to be covered, budget permitting. This is a small, not-for-profit event run by local volunteers.

However, any of you with books or merchandise, or web sites and research programs you'd like to promote (or just for the fun of it) can pay the low fee of $25.00 to get a vendor table in the after-parade festival event down in the park. There are normally large crowds, music, food, a car show, and lots of vendors at this part of the celebration.

If any of you are on the various BF forums, or have a blog or website or BF contacts list then please pass this invitation along.

More than likely Al Hodgson will again participate this year (health permitting, of course). He'd probably be willing and able to introduce any speakers. To my mind it would be great to have more than one speaker, presenting differing views on the subject, perhaps leading up to a debate of some kind. The presentations would be given in an outdoor park situation, with a PA system and small stage. It is almost certainly going to be a beautiful, warm and sunny day at that time of year here in Willow Creek, CA.

DEADLINE FOR SIGNING UP WILL BE LATE JUNE-EARLY JULY.
All official, business-related contacts regarding participation can be directed to Samantha Brown, member of the committee, using her cell phone number: 1-707-845-5083.
Or, if you just want to chat generally about BF and the event, feel free to call me at Bigfoot Books, 1-530-629-3076.

It would be great to see at least some of you make it up here!

Best, in the name of Sasquatch,

Steve

CREATURES SEEN by Seven-Year-Old Girl!!!

Second grader, Denali Brown, of Willow Creek has reported several cryptic encounters in the last few weeks, including Bigfoot, Aliens, and a river creature much like the Loch Ness Monster. We quote:

"Loch ness monster seen at river behind fresh produce farm. 7 year old girl saw back of Loch ness monster. Mysterious orange-ish yellow glowing man seen at Steve Streufert’s house. Big foot seen twice ." The caption of this drawing, of a sasquatch seen moving behind a firewood pile in the yard, reads "Bigfoot seen..., or just a dream."

Other strange sightings have occured, as follow.

A mysterious orange-ish glowing man (an alien?) was seen outside the cabin.

A Loch Ness Monster type of creature (Kamoss, the Hupa people's river serpent?) was seen in a dorsal view, back moving above the water, on the Trinity River down behind Trinity Valley Farms off Highway 96.

And then there was this interesting alien character....

About a year ago she saw a brown solid orb flying through the air over the ridge south of the Patriot Gas station in downtown Willow Creek. She claims it was not a rock, airplane, balloon nor meteor. Her father did not see this one, but a few years back he and a number of friends did see a similar white orb moving across the valley south of Mt. Shasta while sitting up on the summit area of Castle Crags.

These sightings prove that the strange and paranormal are alive and well in the Willow Creek, CA area, or at least in the imagination and dreams and unprejudiced mind of a young kid. Her dad didn't see them, but how easily can we dismiss these things? Maybe her dad is just a "gr'up"? Grownups DO need to open their minds to the mysterious and miraculous beyond normal, socially and culturally limited perception.

Oh, and let us not forget the "Mysterious Invisible Life Guard Guy," spotted along the Trinity River.

BIGFOOT'S bLOG Blogged by Cultural Elite!

High-brow blogger JZOG recently blogged our blog on his CORKSCREW, at http://mekonista.blogspot.com/ , the story here: http://mekonista.blogspot.com/2008/12/bigfoots-blog-my-friend-steve.html .

He also did an expose on the shop a while back, with some photos of the BIGFOOT BOOKS store in a much more organized, earlier state. Find Feb. 28, 2006 here: http://mekonista.blogspot.com/2006_02_26_archive.html

Blogger JZOG also reveals here his cryptic connections with the mysterious Church of Bigfoot, Scientist (at least as their artistic spokesman). One of Bigfoot's revolutionary missives bearing a JZOG image may be found in printable and site-editable state here: http://users.gotsky.com/s_streufert/flyer.htm . The text of the Message...

Attention Humans of Arcata!

As I sit here meditating high atop the giant ancient redwood that I call The Big Kahuna, my thoughts turn to the lame pretenders to my mode of true wildness here in Arcata. (Not all tree sitters have cute hippie names and a P.R. machine--on the other hand you'll get no annoying new age homilies from me either). My righteous beastly rage has been choked back long enough, and its time that a few things were made clear. My anger this time is not directed at what might be expected my natural enemies-the clear cutting megacorps that threaten my (and by extension all) existence. Yes the Maxxams of the world deserve our bitter scorn. But there are other more subtle enemies closer to home. My annoyance is directed at the ragamuffin dreadlocked white people that threaten to turn true wildness and resistance into a lifestyle cliché. These people dilute the impact of my actual mission to convince mankind that they're on the road to complete collapse. Stupid, silly and stoned is not a revolutionary stance, and those that would truly follow the Bigfoot path of restraining rogue capitalism must prove themselves worthy. (Please can the lame folk music too-Bigfoot is strictly a bebop man). As that great philosopher Kermit the Frog once sang, "it's not easy to be green." Especially when some of your fellow greens are half conscious knee jerk trustafarians who try to cop my unique style with not nearly the panache with which I carry myself. Hairiness and the reek of patchouli are no match for the authentic virile musky presence of yours truly. I am the ORIGINAL WILDMAN-accept no substitutes. Those who would deign to follow in my footsteps without my soulful intensity and intelligence beware of my terrible wrath!!! You have been warned,
Bigfoot (the creature formerly known as Rugaru)
