John Willison Green is a legendary figure in the history of sasquatch research. He wrote some of the most informative books on the subject and he acquired a database of sightings and encounters that is invaluable and unrivaled. He documented the subject like no one else and corresponded with anyone interested in the sasquatch. John’s contributions are well known; his epic tome “Sasquatch: the Apes Among Us” is the quintessential sasquatch book. After many years of tireless interest and inquiry, it’s time to gather in John’s hometown and celebrate his lifetime contribution to our bigfoot world. Please join us April 8, 9 & 10 for a weekend in Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia.

The fine print! PLEASE NOTE: Ticket prices may be increasing after February 15, 2011. Purchasing your ticket prior to this date will avoid any potential rise in costs. $55 of the ticket price is to pay for the banquet itself, and includes provincial taxes and pre-paid gratuities. The number of tickets available is limited due to space/Fire Marshall regulations. We cannot guarantee that there will be tickets available to purchase ‘last minute’ at the event. Unfortunately, due to conference contract restrictions refunds will not be available within 30 days of the event. Event organizers and resort staff reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone. Disruptive behavior will result in removal from the event. Event organizers will not be held responsible for activities conducted outside of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa facilities. Event times may be subject to change.
------ IMPORTANT NOTE on PASSPORTS or PASSPORT CARDS ----
United States residents, you NEED one to cross into Canada and then return to the U.S. They take 4 weeks to process. Passports cost $135 these days. Passport Cards are half the price or less.

Also, I've received word that Washington residents have an Enhanced Driver's License option - instead of a passport or passport card.

Hello friends of John Green,
We are able to book rooms at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa now! Information is posted below.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Be glad to assist you.
I have added the t-shirt pre-order option as well if you want to add that to your payments. We will only take pre-orders but you can make that later if you wish. So, you can pre-order and pay at the event, too.
The event is really taking shape.
I'll try to keep my blog at www.bigfootsongs.com updated with information. One big note: Christopher Murphy has kindly agreed to set up his "Meet the Sasquatch" museum display in an adjoining room at the conference! And we will have original footprint casts from the "early years" on display as well.
