The Lizard Man Returns!

20 years later ... the Lizard Man returns to Bishopville, SC.  The crew that has been
following Big Foot for the past 30 plus years stopped by to see what kind of creature we had
hiding out in our swamps in Lee County.  Tom Biscardi (producer and editor of "Big Foot
Lives" www.searchingforbigfoot.com) believes we do NOT have a Lizard Man, but a Swamp
Ape migrating from north to south through Lee County.  

Believe what you want to believe, we at the Chamber are embracing the Lizard Man or
Swamp Ape creature and are willing to hear all sides of every story.  

T-shirts are available at the Chamber office - NOW!  (See below)

The Blossom Shop on Main has t-shirts (803-484-6268) or the South Carolina Cotton
Museum
has all sorts of Lizard Man memorabilia and t-shirts available (803-484-4497).
Sit back for a moment and take a look around at all the things we have
to offer.  Whether you are looking to relocate to Lee county, or if you
are just wanting to be a tourist, we have plenty of opportunities and
options - either way.

We hope your visit and stay will be memorable and we would love to
help coordinate any activities that you might want to participate in while
you are here.

Please feel free to contact the Chamber office with any questions or
comments you might have.  We are always working to make the
Garden Spot of the Carolinas a destination worth returning to!

The City of Bishopville has just about completed our facade improvements ... we've spent the
greater part of this year being in a state of renovation.  

We received a facade improvement grant from the SC Department of Commerce.  Here are some
pictures of the work that is currently happening in downtown Bishopville.
