Bigfoot's 300th Birthday Bash

Three hundred years ago, a Jesuit priest who was exploring today's Mississippi reported what is regarded by some as the first Sasquatch encounter in North America. Two Natchez locals are advocating for the Bluff City to be recognized for this, and so are hosting an event "of monstrous proportions" to commemorate the history. Researcher/documentarian of Discovering Bigfoot Todd Standing, along with Dr. Jeff Meldrum, and  field researcher M.K. Davis will be present as guest lecturers, and American Idol Top Twenty Hannah Everhart will perform, along with local radio and T.V. personalities, and an appearance by the mayor. There will also be a Sasquatch Trot 5K & Fun Run, film screenings, and more. The goal of the event is to eventually add “birthplace of the Bigfoot legend” to Natchez's long list of special attributes. In addition to being a strange, fun time, it's for a good cause: part of the proceeds benefit Home with Heroes 501(c)3 & Kidney Transplant of Todd & Mark Welch (son donating a kidney to his dad). bigfootbirthdaybash.com.
