Im Abe Del Rio.

and we are at the Timberlake Lodge and Hotel in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, for the Minnesota Bigfoot Conference This is the 5th annual Where we have a great line of speakers.

Well, this i the biggest big foot conference I guess you could say, within the midwest.

Now we are about 500 People participating last I heard one of the biggest ones right around.

Four hundred.

And w well exceeded that we were ready for about four hundred and fifty But we are definitely well over four hundred and fifty Its all about getting the educa and the awearness out about this creature.

This is our fifth annual one, and this is the biggest one and Midwest now so with that being said within the past five it went from something like that To something like this Which is amazing And getting the education and the awareness out there And with a crowd this size it just tells me that what we have been doing for the past twenty four years its working so it's not just getting th education and awareness out ther There is also a place that platform where people can feel safe and share there experiences and sightings and there thoughts No matter how outrageous or anything there is right ther because there are some out there You know.

I love skeptics Um, but you know not everyone is is going to jump on the BigFoot bandwagon.

and it takes something like thi hopefully a skeptic will come in and walk out with a little bit more.

And its a great place to network and meet people here as well and that's one of the goals of the Minnesota bigfoot conference The Slice from PBS North.
