Believe it or not, Bigfoot believers gathered one weekend in Washington state.  

The Yakima Valley Museum hosted a Bigfoot Round-Up.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reported the event honored Yakima’s own Bob Gimlin and the late Roger Patterson, who filmed what they say was a Bigfoot encounter in 1967 in Northern California.

The well-known footage since has been debated and scrutinized, with some calling the filmmakers Bigfoot research pioneers and others saying the video shows a man in an ape suit.

The event was planned in conjunction with the museum exhibit Sasquatch Revealed. It included lectures and a banquet to honor Gimlin and Patterson.
