It’s time for the 51^st annual Bigfoot Days celebration, which is taking place this coming Labor Day weekend September 3^rd and 4^th 2011. The theme for the event this year is “River Fun in the Mountain Sun with Bigfoot’s 51!”. We are hoping to have at least two thousand people in attendance based on numbers from the previous years and the positive changes we have made so far. There will be live musical performances in the park. We will also have additional help this year for parking.

It would be great to have a strong showing of parade entries this year! There are no requirements as to what can be in the parade. Have fun with it! Some examples of possible parade entries are: floats, heavy equipment, live stock, and groups on foot, bike, or anything else that you think represents our community. Parade entry fees are $35.00 for businesses (early entry discount if payment is received by Sunday, July 31^st, 2011). All non-profit organizations/clubs and personal entries are exempt from this fee.

Food booths are a great way for local non-profit organizations to raise money. We are hoping to have a wide variety of food and treats available to the public. To help with this cause, we will only allow two booths selling the same food item. Since we are not requiring food use permits, all food booths must be open air or under a pop-up with tables. There is a deep-pit barbeque available for use, if you are interested. The fee for a booth is $50, if received by July 31^st and $65.00 after July 31^st.

Activity booths are another great way for local non-profit organizations to raise money. Games such as: bobbing for apples, egg/balloon toss, sack races, and activities such as: dunk tanks and eating contests are a sure fire way to make money and have fun at the same time. The fee for the booth is $50 if received by July 31^st and $65 after July 31^st.

We are also looking to have a large retail booth section with a variety of family-friendly items. This year’s layout will make your business a focal point for people, drawing them to you and your products. The booth spaces will be 12’ X 12’ with a 5’ walkway. The fee for retail booths is $50.00 if received by Sunday, July 31^st 2011. Any entry applications received after July 31^st 2011 will be charged $65.00. Again, all non-profit organizations are exempt from this fee.

Funds for Bigfoot Days come from generous donations across the county and beyond, so any and all donations are appreciated more than you know. Bigfoot Days is non-profit. All monies raised are put into the festivities for next year. Participation is the best way to donate and have some fun at the same time, so join the parade, set up an activity, food, or retail booth. Help us keep this tradition alive and make it bigger and better than ever!
