#GabeRepublic - Spot Gabe the Sasquatch on 626 Day!
Gabe the Sasquatch is the official spokesperson for #626GoldenStreets. A native of the San Gabriel Mountains, Gabe enjoys walking through the forest, eating locally-grown plants, and challenging persistent stereotypes like sasquatches-can't-ride-bikes.
After joining the 626 team in Spring 2016, Gabe has traveled across Los Angeles County by (big) foot, bike, Foothill Transit and Metro to spread the word that there are indeed cool things to see and do on the eastside of LA. Keep an eye out for him on Sunday March 5 for free selfies, Gabe Republic stickers, and hi5s!
