“It’s all in good fun. I don’t believe but I’m always a skeptic unless I see it. We’re all free to celebrate and do these things. It’s all in good fun.”

“I think it’s OK. I don’t believe but I’d like to. I do like that people keep it going. I do believe in UFOs, I think there’s more out there than we know about.”

“I enjoy it. Whatever you want to put on is fine. It doesn’t have to be true to have fun, that’s what really matters. It’s something different and that’s the way I look at it. I don’t believe in Bigfoot, but I do believe in having fun with it. It’s like other things we have in the world that we enjoy.”

“I think Bigfoot’s really cute. I don’t necessarily believe in him but I like all of the stuff. The carving at the Murphy Art Center is a nice piece of art, and I do think it brings a lot of revenue to the county. As long as it’s something that somebody else enjoys, then we can
all get behind it and support it.”
Taylor Ledford, Hayesville
