Enter the Bigfoot Art Contest by Friday, 7/12!

Get creative! Paint, sketch, or sculpt a unique, creative depiction of Bigfoot, and you might just win free entry to the upcoming BigFoot MiniCon scheduled for August 3! Start on your original creation now; finished pieces should not exceed 18×24 inches in size.

The deadline to submit is Friday, July 12! Drop off your art work downtown at the Capitol between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m Monday through Friday. If that won’t work with your schedule, email Magnolia to arrange an alternate time (magnoliag@warrenpl.org). All pieces will be on display during the MiniCon the first weekend in August at either the Capitol or at SoKY Marketplace.

Hunt for Bigfoot in BG!

We have six amazing local artists — Jim Madison, David Jones, Andee Rudloff, Nellie Lutzwolf, Alexis Erskine, and Shane Gerow — who are making each Bigfoot into a unique art piece! Get ready for sightings, as the finished creations will be placed all over town just before the MiniCon. Once they are positioned, you’ll have the the opportunity to find them all. Take a photo of them (or with them), post on social media, and tag us for a chance to win a cool prize!
