They say you will come a skeptic but leave a believer. Here is what you need to know about the Western North Carolina Bigfoot Festival in Marion. It’s coming up in May.
I first heard about this because one of my co workers is making an actual girls trip out of this. Bigfoot is very popular now you know. And while I think this co worker is going for the fun and games, there will be some serious Bigfoot watchers there as spectators and speakers.
The Western North Carolina Bigfoot Festival will be held on May 20th from 10-5. There will be some Bigfoot spotters there telling you of their adventures. There will be food and bands! No matter if you want to go as a believer or just someone caught up in Bigfoot mania, this looks like a fun day for the whole family. To learn more get details about the WNC Bigfoot Festival in Marion on May 20th, here.

When we first came to Charlotte in 2006, The EpiCentre was the place to be after work. For years, on Thursday nights, “Alive After 5” was a thing and the place to be seen. Great weather and live music proved to be an unbeatable and socially intoxicating combination. Well, with the decline of the EpiCentre and safety concerns in the uptown/downtown area, this annual rite of spring, ended. However, like all great ideas, all that was needed was a little re-branding. (Drum roll, please) Get ready for “SouthPark After 5.”
