This spring, the members of the Minnesota Bigfoot Research Team are set to host what they say will be the state’s first ever Bigfoot Conference. The three-day event is slated for May 22-24 at Timberlake Lodge in Grand Rapids. There will be a variety of speakers, vendors, food and mingling amongst fellow enthusiasts nicknamed “Squatchers.”
Advance general admission tickets are available at www.mnbrt.com and cost $20 for adults, $10 for children. Kids 5 years of age and younger are free with a paid adult. Prices will increase at the door.
On Friday, May 22, a special 5 p.m. speaker and dinner package is available for $100 per person followed by a public meet and greet. On Saturday, May 23, a vendor show is set to begin at 11 a.m. followed by a line-up of speakers, including Del Rio.
On Sunday, May 24, a breakfast and speaker Q&A package will be available for $50 per person.
Additional VIP options can also be purchased online, one of which includes a collector’s 9-inch statue of the Minnesota Iceman that’s being released exclusively for the conference.
I witnessed a bigfoot on Highway 2 going west. It was about 10:30 at night. The location was between Deer River and the road that goes to Six mile lake.
