The Glide Sasquatch Festival is bringing a little extra excitement to the greater Glide area with the release of hidden Bigfoot statues at local businesses along Highway 138E.

A release from organizers said the scavenger hunt is designed to encourage people from Douglas County and beyond to explore local businesses and take part in the fun leading up to the annual event. The Bigfoot statues are being hidden at businesses located after milepost 15 on Highway 138E. This includes businesses on roads that branch off from Highway 138E after that milepost.

Anyone who finds a hidden Bigfoot statue gets to keep it. Finds are also encouraged to bring their statue to the merchandise booth at the Glide Sasquatch Festival, where they will receive a bonus prize.

More Bigfoot statues will be released leading up to the festival. Those who find one are encouraged to share a photo of their discovery on the Glide Sasquatch Festival Facebook page.

The hunt is limited to business locations only and will not be found on property that is not open to the public.

The Glide Sasquatch Festival will take place on Saturday, June 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. For more information, go to: https://www.glidesasquatchfestival.com/
