In celebration and recognition of the elusive creature Bigfoot and in an effort to promote the natural beauty and local businesses in the rural areas of Skamania County, including the communities of Carson, Home Valley and Stabler, Wind River Business Association is holding the eighth annual Bigfoot Bash and Bounty on Saturday, Sept. 19, at Home Valley Park, just off Washington’s State Route 14 in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
Saturday will begin with a Bigfoot berry pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. This year, coordinates for Bigfoot locations around Home Valley Park will be provided encouraging folks to geocache for the prizes each sighting will provide.
In addition to the peaceful hunting of Bigfoot with modern technology, the weekend’s activities include the Cave Monster Carnival, featuring an inflatable ride for the little ones and a climbing rockwall for the more adventurous, vendor booths with crafts and food plus a beer garden, the “Yeti Yard,” a fundraiser for the local American Legion.
On Saturday afternoon regional Bigfoot experts, enthusiasts and authors will be on hand to share their insights, research, personal stories and experiences.
The Bash will conclude with live music from The Liberty Bond Jug Band, a true American roots group. We hear rumors that the elusive creature himself may make an appearance during the day’s fun.
