In a bit of intriguing timing, various cable providers around North America, right before the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up, broadcast a comedic film about Bigfoot.
The Sasquatch Gang (originally entitled The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang) is a 2006 American comedy motion picture written and directed by Tim Skousen, the first assistant director for Napoleon Dynamite. The film was shot in Oregon in rural locations such as the forests of Clackamas County and at a dirt track speedway in Banks.
The movie’s plot is about a young sci-fi/fantasy expert Gavin (Jeremy Sumpter) and a few of his other highly intelligent friends (Addie Land, Hubbel Palmer, Rob Pinkston) who find huge footprints in the woods one day. Unbeknownst to the friends, two of Gavin’s highly unintelligent neighbors (Justin Long and Joey Kern) faked the findings as a plan to gain profits to pay off a credit card bill.
The six-week shoot was completed in the summer of 2005. The film premiered in January 2006 at the Slamdance Film Festival. It was also shown at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival and the Waterfront Film Festival. The film opened in limited release in the United States on November 30, 2007. The film was released on DVD March 25, 2008.
In the days leading up to the Yakima Round-Up, The Sasquatch Gang was screened on the Comedy Movie Channel, Tuesday 4:30 P.M., Wednesday 8 A.M. Then on TMC on Friday, May 15th, at 8 A.M. & 5 P.M, the film was showing as the conference site was being prepared for the speakers and attendees. Interesting scheduling.
Of course, 1967 was 42 years ago, and sometimes present Bigfooters forget that all these men at conferences, back then, were young men.

Therefore, below are images of Bob Gimlin and the “original Sasquatch gang,” from the late 1960s.
The top two photographs have been identified as Bob Gimlin wearing a fake Indian headdress, allegedly at Roger Patterson’s cinematic request. Are the nose and mouth on the costumed Indian all wrong for Gimlin, shown in a 1967 photo below? Is it Bob Gimlin?
Roger Patterson? No, this has been identified as Bob Gimlin in the 1960s.
Roger Patterson, Bob Gimlin, and the “posse.” Can you name everyone in this line-up?
