Lake Worth’s Monster Bash

On behalf of Michelle Villafranca… who’s a lovely, lovely person!

The Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge is gearing up for the second annual Lake Worth Monster Bash which will be held on Saturday, October 2 from 10am – 3pm. Last year’s event was a success because of the great vendor participation & public attendance. I hope to make this year’s event even better. Please consider participating as a vendor (see attached vendor application).

The Lake Worth Monster Bash is a tongue-in-cheek event tailored for the entire family celebrating our local legend and the habitat he calls home. (In the summer of 1969, locals claimed to have seen a “monster” lurking in the woods around Greer Island. Numerous sightings stirred up media and police attention & over the decades, a legend was born – our very own “Bigfoot.”)

There will be guided canoe tours and interpretive hikes to Greer Island, “track the monster” self-guided hikes, hayrides, story-telling, kids’ activities, music, vendors & a display of “monster” history.

We are looking for exhibitors & vendors associated with nature & environmental-related themes. Booths are $20 (payable upon application submission) – which includes a 10X10 space, one 8 foot table & two chairs. Canopies may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be no electricity available for booths.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone who might be interested in participating in this event.

Anyone wanting more information can either get in touch with me, or with Michelle. Have fun!
