Locale map

Sutton / Flatwoods, West Virginia, keeps the September 1952 “Green Monster” (Flatwoods Monster) story in civic memory through conventions, museum chairs, and music festivals listed by Braxton tourism pages.

For 2026, the Flatwoods Monster Convention was listed for 11–12 September — and organizers publicly posted a cancellation. Cancellation is part of the civic record; this file documents the calendar honestly rather than inventing a crowd that did not gather. Music-fest listings later in autumn sit outside this mid-September topic window.

THIN note: much organizing chatter is Facebook-primary. Status folklore.
