A massive turnout of Bigfoot believers arrived with smiles and good cheer! Guests even got to see Bigfoot in person! The event began at 3:00 PM on a mild Friday afternoon with Delaware Nation staff and vendors ready to serve.

Families and friends gathered and posed for photos with the giant-footed legend. If guests weren’t snapping photos with Bigfoot, they were probably enjoying one of the many great activities, such as bounce houses, pumpkin painting, t-shirts, face painting, cake walk, cornhole, hayrides, Bigfoot calling contest, health walk, costume contests, kettle corn, scavenger hunt, refreshments, macro fishing, and much more, along with many booths filled with beautiful jewelry, artifacts, and useful information! Congratulations to all the winners of the Bigfoot Calling Contest and to the winners of the Kids Costume Contests. The costumes were amazing! Their hard work and attention to detail paid off.
