Fouke, Arkansas
Myself and my Filmsquatch co-host, Patrick Bennett, made our way to the legendary town of Fouke, Arkansas to enjoy our third visit to the Fouke Monster Festival on Saturday, April 27th. The event took place at the Fouke Middle School and featured a number of excellent speakers and guests. Filmsquatch had a table set up at the event and we had a great time getting to know some of our loyal listeners and introducing a few new fans to our show. We also had an excellent time meeting the Fouke Monster and talking with the young ladies that set up their Arky Creations table across from us at the event.
I’ll be completely honest and say that I was humbled to hear that most of the folks that we talked to at the festival had either listened to our show or heard about Filmsquatch. Even better, all of them seemed to enjoy the show! We actually signed a few autographs at the event! It makes me very happy to know that the moronic musings of myself and Patrick have brought a little joy to the Bigfoot community. I am very grateful to each and every person that has listened to our podcast. I really appreciate all of you wonderful people.
Of course, no trip to Fouke is complete without visiting the Boggy Creek Boutique and the Monster Mart. Patrick and I were happy to catch up with Jeff and Cindy Sheldon, the owners of the Boggy Creek Boutique, and two of our coolest friends. They’ve gone above and beyond in promoting us and our show, and we’ll be forever grateful to them for their support. If you are ever in the Fouke area, swing by their shop and tell’em Filmsquatch sent you! I snapped up some delicious apple barbecue sauce from Leaf On The Wind Studios and my favorite salsa from Gladden Farms at the boutique. Patrick and I were both gifted shirts from the boutique as well. Oh, and be sure to check out our signed photo on the boutique’s wall of fame! We’re hanging out with some horror legends! It’s great to know that we gave good friends in the Fouke area. They feel just like family.
Just before leaving Fouke, we stopped off at the Monster Mart. They’ve added more items to their Boggy Creek area and have also added a few new things to their museum as well. I picked up a Boggy Creek license plate (which is currently on my car) and an energy drink for the road. Patrick also grabbed a few souvenirs as well.
Patrick and I plan on making more trips to Fouke later this year. I’ll be sure to let all of you know about our continuing adventures as Filmsquatch. As always, thanks for checking out my posts.
