Wednesday Video Spotlight: Bigfoot to answer the call at Saturday's Plaza District Festival

Published: September 26, 2012 by Brandy McDonnell Comment on this article Leave a comment

Oklahoma City’s Plaza District will come alive to celebrate local creativity Saturday at the annual Plaza District Festival, presented by Fowler Volkswagen of Norman.

Participants in this year’s festival can enjoy 40 artist booths, live music, children’s art activities and a variety of local concessions. The annual event celebrates the progress of the Plaza District, a district once blighted by urban decay, now boasting a renewed energy embraced by creative and diverse culture.

Apparently, that creative and diverse culture extends to the art of Bigfoot calling. That’s right, for the seconds straight year, the Fowler VW Tent at the festival will feature a Bigfoot calling contest, and Jonathan Fowler, general manager of Fowler VW in Norman, assured me this week that the allegedly mythical creature will be lurking around the festival Saturday, just waiting for the right call.

Participants can watch the 1987 film “Harry and the Hendersons” for inspiration or devise an original Bigfoot call, he said. Or perhaps the video embedded here from last year’s Bigfoot calling contest will inspire festival-goers.

Look for my full preview of the Plaza District Festival Friday, and in the meantime, go to www.plazadistrict.org for more festival information.
