Versions of the hairy cryptid will make appearances in the Geiser-Pollman Park Aug. 12 for the one-day Blue Mountain Bigfoot Fest.

A special VIP dinner will happen Friday night, August 11, with Bigfoot expert guest speakers Todd Neiss and Michael Freeman. 

On April 3, 1993, as a soldier with the 1249th Combat Engineers, Todd Neiss watched three enormous bipedal creatures watching the military convoy from across a ravine. This inspired him to form the American Primate Conservancy, advocating for the species’ recognition and protection.

Freeman is a collector and researcher focusing on evidence collected in the Blue Mountains of Northeastern Oregon and Southeastern Washington. Freeman’s late father, Paul Freeman, was a longtime researcher in that area, and he captured a video purporting to show a Bigfoot, as well as making plaster casts of footprints.
