Bigfoot might not be real, but he's a heck of a fundraiser. We are forever fascinated with that critter and now a Washington state senator wants to harness that fascination to help maintain Washington state parks.

Sen. Ann Rivers, who represents the Vancouver area, has proposed a bill that would allow the Department of Licensing to offer a Sasquatch-themed license plate. Sales from the license plates would go towards park maintenance and improvements.

But how well does Sasquatch sell? We had Bob Bishop, a wholesaler of Bigfoot and Sasquatch souvenirs based in California, explain all the fundraising potential of the Sasquatch's likeness.
