If you or someone you know is a Big Foot enthusiast, I've got good news for you! You can enjoy a conference that's dedicated to all things sasquatch, AND it's located in the Smoky Mountains, at the Gatlinburg Convention Center.   An excuse to learn more about Big Foot, and go to one of my favorite places? Count me in.

It's called the Smoky Mountain Big Foot Conference.  It takes place annually in Gatlinburg, and is coming back this summer.  The conference will take place on July 23, from 8A-4P.  While at the conference you'll get to hear from all kinds of guest speakers, and hear personal stories from people who have had Big Foot encounters. Their headlining speaker for 2022 was just announced, and it's Dr. Jeff Meldrum, who is a Cryptozoologist, anthropologist, and author.
