Portland, ME -- Bigfoot made big news this year, and one cryptozoologist wants to know what the average Joe considers the most important Bigfoot event of 2003.

Loren Coleman plans to release a list of the ten most newsworthy Bigfoot events of 2003, which he says is done for educational purposes.

But first, he wants to see what average folks think is big Bigfoot news.

Coleman says a lot of people are still buzzing about the death of Bigfoot hoaxer Ray Wallace, but Coleman says that was "last year."

He figures the event that will top his list this year is the Willow Creek Conference in September where primate expert Dr. Jane Goodall was supposed to have voiced her beliefs in Bigfoot, but had to back out as a speaker at the last minute.
