DAINGERFIELD, Tx – TheSearch for Bigfoot weekend will kick off tonight at Daingerfield State Park with a cult classic movie from 1972 at the Amphitheater – The Legend of Boggy Creek.

On Saturday, the park will host several educational programs including fun making Bigfoot art at the Nature Center. The resident storyteller will present a children’s Bigfoot story. Campfire Songs with Rich will begin at 6pm. The highlight of the weekend will be the “Searchin for Bigfoot Hike” hosted by a Park Ranger leading you up a winding path through the dense forest to the summit of Iron Hill. To bring the weekend event to a fitting conclusion, there will be a dance with classics from a vintage jukebox from 8:00pm to 10:00pm.

Daingerfield State Park Superintendent Steve Killian said, “There’s a pandemic of of inactivity in our society and we want people to come outside, hike the trails, enjoy, smell the beautiful aromas of the forest and just have a great time.”
