Pennsylvania No upcoming events at this time March 22, 2008 Tri-State Bigfoot Meeting in summary The Tri-State Bigfoot Study Group hosted its first ever regular meeting at Salt Fork State Parks lodge on March 22nd. The meeting was well attended with at least 51 persons showing up. While everyone seemed very pleased with the venue and accommodations there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out if another meeting is to be held there. The meeting started off by group founder Don Keating giving a final list of scheduled speakers for the 20th Annual Bigfoot Conference / EXPO as well as a brief summary of alleged Bigfoot sighting in Ohio from 2007. He then showed two videotapes. The first of which were the classic Kokanee Beer commercials and the second of which was the hilarious Comedy Channels "The Daily Show" from the middle 1990's when Floridian David Shealy was highlighted regarding his Skunk Ape research. There was a brief intermission and then after wards a woman in attendance stood before the audience and told of her encounter with an apparent Bigfoot creature on the evening of November 12th, 2007 in rural Guernsey County. The meeting concluded with chit chat regarding several different aspects of the Bigfoot phenomenon and talk of whether or not those in attendance would like to hold regular meeting at the lodge. The vote was pretty much unanimous in favor of. After all cleared the room and everything was packed away several of the attendees went to the handicap picnic area and huddled around a fire courtesy of Terry and Treba Jahn of Sunbury, Ohio. Summary of Dec 8, 2007 Tri-State (Ohio) meeting: The Tri-State Bigfoot Study Group hosted a meeting on Saturday night December 8th, 2007. There were 48 in attendance. The speaker for the evening was Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society (PBS) Director Eric Altman. Altman is from Jeanette, Pennsylvania. Altman presented 100 photos in a power point presentation regarding his trip out to northern California during the weekend of October 20th, 2007. He and fellow PBS member Tim Cassidy made the trek together. The main reason for going out west was to attend the 40th Anniversary gathering in Willow Creek, California to commemorate the filming of the Patterson / Gimlin Bigfoot film. Altman reported that 56 were in attendance for the event. Altman also told about how a supposed 6 to 7 hour trip ended up being 10 and one half hours, how meetings with west coast Bigfooter's ended up having to be cancelled but also reported and showed the density and beauty of the forest of the Pacific northwest (PNW). Overall Eric's presentation was well received by the 48 in attendance at the Tri-State Bigfoot Study Group. After intermission group founder / chairman Don Keating covered three audio recordings that have been taken since late October in eastern Ohio, he covered a very good sighting of an alleged Bigfoot creature that took place on November 12th, 2007 in eastern Ohio and he also gave a brief report on planning for the upcoming 20th Annual Bigfoot Conference / EXPO which is slated for May 17th, 2008.
