2014 Honobia Bigfoot Conference and Festival Makes Major Impacts on People's Perception About Bigfoot

This year's Honobia Bigfoot Conference and Festival is more than a place to come and enjoy good food, entertainment, raise money for a good cause and friendship. There is something to learn, there is a lot of people that travel through several states to come to Honobia, Oklahoma to hear the speakers present their research and findings on Bigfoot's existence. There are many the come non-believers and some go away with either they believe now, or they are more open to the idea of the existence of Bigfoot or Sasquatch. One of the organizers and speakers Troy Hudson was quoted

"I am not here to make you believe Bigfoot Exist, I only here to present you what I have learned in all the years I have been doing this, you take what you learn from me and the other speakers and form your own opinion"

Several of the organizers were stopped throughout the festival weekend to hear some great stories of people having there own Bigfoot experience, the organizers were quick to explain the weekend and to give their caution about people in the woods trying to masquerade as Bigfoots to give mislead people. After hearing what some of the people had experienced the organizers were left with questions of "what if" some of the locations were off property and way up on some of the mountains. Either way people enjoyed the weekend and enjoyed the activities. Everyone walked away with a story to tell their friends when they got back home.

Several of the conference speakers have different ideas of what Bigfoot really is. There are many scientific projects out there attempting to come up with this answer. This year's conference and festival yielded many visitors from as far away as Nebraska, Illinois, and Colorado. No matter where you come from it means a lot for the community of Honobia to host the conference and festival to benefit everyone involved. Below are some more pictures of the conference and some comments from some of the visitors:
