Finding Bigfoot to film in River Bend Illinois in Late November

Finding Bigfoot is filming in Illinois this November (2012). More specifically Madison County in the River Bend area. 

"Producers and organizers will hold an invitation-only [Bigfoot] town hall meeting during the last week of this month." -- The Telegraph, November 13th 2012

The River Bend is a small region in western central Illinois and Southern Illinois that includes three counties: Madison, Calhoun, and Jersey. Madison County, with 15 encounters according to BFRO.net, tops the list as the county with the most sightings. Calhoun and Jersey? Only 3 between the both of them.  

It is reasonable that Madison is a hot spot for Bigfoot. If you look at a map the River Bend is where the Illinois and Missouri river feed into the Mississippi River making for the greenest part of Illinois.

The Telegraph, a local Illinois paper, has published a staff report requesting Bigfoot experiences on behalf of the cast of the TV show, Finding Bigfoot:
