Thanks to everyone who made it out to our Family Day last Saturday! It was great to bring together enthusiastic folks to celebrate the opening of the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute!

Some highlights included:

Mayor Thomas M. Menino stopped by to officially open our doors with a ribbon-cutting;

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman explained the difference between mythical animals (unicorns, dragons, centaurs) and cryptid animals (sasquatch, loch ness, chupacabras) and answered questions from an enthusiastic audience;

A. W. Flaherty read her book, The Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating, and explained why parents should be proud of picky eaters;

Lisha Andrew, a junior at English High School, read her piece "An Unseen Eternity," which will be published in the 826 Boston - EHS Anthology this spring;

M. T. Anderson, winner of the National Book Award, read his beautiful book, The Serpent Came to Gloucester;

Sophia Madden, a regular student at after-school tutoring at 826 Boston, read "Ode to a Tree," a poem she wrote at an 826 Boston workshop during February School break, which is also being featured on a radio segment about 826 Boston on WBUR.
