#HMBlog: Lakeland to host Great Florida Bigfoot Conference this Saturday

Is there a better place for a Bigfoot conference than Lakeland, Florida? This Saturday you can catch some cryptozoologists talk Bigfoot, better knows as the “Skunk Ape” here in Florida which is allegedly hiding somewhere in Myakka State Park. I like to think of the Skunk Ape as the Ultimate Florida Man, personally.

From 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the RP Funding Center’s Youkey Theatre, Skunk Ape experts, cryptozoologists, investigators, myth-busters and Bigfoot-related vendors will gather in a day of discussion and panels. The focus will be on Bigfoot, but more specifically, the elusive Florida Skunk Ape. In Florida, there is no definitive statistics on Skunk Ape sightings, but The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization lists 332 Skunk Ape sightings in Florida, most recently in January.

So head on down to Lakeland this weekend, nerds. Check out the event page HERE to get tickets.
