Does the state of Maryland recognize the existence of Bigfoot?
 

Actually, this question, or a variety of it, is often asked when a government agency posts or publishes anything with a photo, a symbol, a sign or the words Bigfoot, Sasquatch, etc.  My take is that this is a silly conclusion.  It is like asking if the jerky company acknowledges the actual existence of Bigfoot.

The big guy is simply being used as a marketing tactic.  Nothing more, nothing less.

It seems as though the thought of the existence of BF is endearing to many people, and it evokes a certain emotion, as well as a following.  So it would seem that using images or the concept of BF would be a smart marketing ploy.

And Bigfoot-ology seems to elicit a sense of fun, excitement, and discovery of the unknown.

I say, let them use it and don't take anything more from any state or government agency when they decide to use it to promote a program that encourages people, adults and kids alike, to explore the outdoors.

It's better than any video game.
In researching some other sightings in Maryland, I ran across a few articles and blogs.
Here is one that is interesting:

Also, I am looking for an article or publication called, "Does Maryland Have A Sasquatch?"

If anyone has any information on where I can pick this up, please leave me a comment.

Thanks.
