Bigfoot in Palmer

Bigfoot has found a home in Palmer — the Bigfoot Art Gallery. Rob Menzies bought the building that formerly housed Mad Matters and opened Bigfoot Art Gallery in 2020. Since purchasing the business from Pam Strahan, Menzies has enjoyed interacting with the residents of Palmer who need custom matting and framing, as well as those who have squatchy stories. Over the years, Menzies has amassed a collection of bigfoot art pieces including ‘Big George,’ the large bust in the middle of Bigfoot Art Gallery that Menzies purchased from a bigfoot taxidermist in Oklahoma. Many of the customers at Bigfoot Art Gallery enjoy taking selfies with ‘Big George.’
