Bigfoot

 

Bigfoot Expert reveals incredible evidence at

Superstition Saturday

October 10, 2009

 

Regional expert Dr. Ronald Brown will present evidence of Bigfoot, also known by the names Sasquatch and Yeti, on Saturday, October 10 at the Lake Oroville Visitor Center (above the dam) at 917 Kelly Ridge Road in Oroville from 6-8pm.

 

Dr. Brown is a contributing author on the subject of Bigfoot and has participated in numerous field studies and investigations.  His presentation includes footage of the Patterson and Redwood videotapes, a display of actual castings, visual representations and historic documented information to show how far back sightings of Bigfoot exist.

 

After the Bigfoot presentation, explore your superstitions on the Haunted Trail (weather permitting).  As the moon peeks through the oak trees, costumed docents will explain ancient meanings and share mystical practices as they guide visitors along the 1/8 mile trail.  Expect to see evidence of the supernatural all around you, from above and beyond!  Bring a flashlight, sturdy shoes and dress for the weather.

 

This event is a fundraiser for the Bidwell Bar Association (BBA).  Cost is $5.  There will be a bake sale, featuring seasonal treats such as brownies, cookies and caramel apples.  There will also be a raffle.
