Bigfoot DAZE

Sent as a post June 9, 2000

Hi Ray and fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts,

I'm actually kind of shocked of the lack of contributions the Western Bigfoot Society does not receive to host the Bigfoot Daze (see below).

As you know, Don Keating and I raise a considerable amount of money in Ohio to pay for speakers airfares, motel, meals, side trips, etc.. This is part of the reason why the Annual Bigfoot Conference / EXPO is the most successful event of its kind in the world today. All of our contributions come from the general membership and from all the local business's in the Newcomerstown area. We were charging $25.00 for a business card size advertisement and $50.00 for a 1/4 page advertisement. We had over 35 $25.00 donations for this years Bigfoot Expo 2000. With all of the different researchers out west, WBS members, friends of the WBS, etc.. I can't understand why more local PNW bigfooters don't kick in for the weekend.

If it was me living out west (the so called Bigfoot stomping grounds), I'd be embarrassed that an east of the Mississippi Bigfoot group is receiving so much support (especially when a lot of people don't even think Bigfoot exists east of the Mississippi).

Ray, just sent you in the mail a renewal to the Track Record and a $25.00 donation to this years Bigfoot Daze along with my business card for printing in the program. C'mon everyone, lets get the ball rolling and help Ray and the Western Bigfoot Society out. They work very hard in making Bigfoot Daze an educational and a fun time. Take care everyone!! (By the way, I did not mean anything in saying east coast is better than west coast or vice versa!)

I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO HELP THE WBS OUT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE!!

Sincerely,
