2009 Texas Bigfoot Conference

By Daryl Colyer and Alton Higgins

(February 4, 2009) The Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy (TBRC) announced today the finalized location for the 2009 Texas Bigfoot Conference. Over the last several years, the annual fundraising event has continued to grow in size from 150 attendees in 2001 to over 500 attendees in recent years. In 2006, the event was combined with the Bigfoot in Texas? exhibit in San Antonio at the University of Texas at San Antonio’s Institute of Texan Cultures. This year’s event will be in Tyler, Texas at the Caldwell Auditorium and is scheduled for 26 September 2009. The all-day conference event features an impressive list of speakers who present the latest in bigfoot sightings and research. The list of speakers will be announced at a later date.

The TBRC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit scientific charitable organization, comprised of volunteer investigators, scientists and naturalists, pursuing education and research activities pertaining to the centuries-old “wildman” phenomenon in North America. The TBRC proposes that the source of the phenomenon is a biological entity, probably an unlisted large primate. The organization is actively engaged in activities designed to test that hypothesis, including the onsite investigation of credible reported sightings in the Ark-La-Tex-Oma region.
