2012 McMinnville, Oregon UFO Fest
Painting of Evelyn Trent, Hotel Oregon, McMinnville
The McMinnville UFO Fest returns this May. Speakers lined up include Donald R. Schmitt, (Friday night’s speaker) author of UFO Crash at Roswell, etc. and hypnotist Yvonne Smith, (Saturday morning) who’s worked with abductees. The third speaker has not yet been decided.
I’m mildly interested in Smith, but, unless the as yet unannounced speaker is someone way groovy, I don’t think I’ll go this year. The expense vs. the line-up doesn’t even out.
But if you decide to go, have fun! The rooftop bar at Hotel Oregon and the parade are worth the visit, as is exploring the unique interior of the old hotel. More info here.
2012 – Last year was very good; really was, it was also warm and sunny. The speakers last year were all very heart felt. For us the surprise was Thomas Reed who we haven’t seen before, truly delivered a long factual and powerful 2 hrs. Maybe not the flamboyant speaker some are, but real and connected with people. Donald who was seasoned at addressing an audience had a lot to say on Roswell, and you could tell he was very connected, and holds a lot of respect for Roswell. Yvonne showed a lot of footage of her regression. Chance Reed, who still looked like he was in high school, took the stage and addressed about 600 or so, and was as relaxed and composed as any of them. He also introduced the film, the Hidden Hand. This was only the 3rd time we went, but it was better than 2011. We are not going this year, and for a couple reasons, see what next year looks like.
