Little Sally troll sculpture turns one on November 7
The whimsical Little Sally Troll sculpture has reached its first birthday on November 7, marking a year of playful presence in the town’s central park. Crafted from weather‑resistant metal and painted in vivid greens and blues, the mischievous figure invites passersby to pause, smile, and snap a photo.
Created by local artist Camdyn Bruce, the troll blends folk‑art traditions with contemporary street‑sculpture sensibilities. Its exaggerated features—a wide grin, oversized eyes, and a jaunty hat—echo the region’s storytelling heritage while offering a fresh, approachable aesthetic.
Since its installation, the piece has become a gathering point for families, school groups, and tourists alike. Children climb onto its sturdy base, and community events have been organized around its quirky charm, from seasonal lighting displays to pop‑up markets.
As the sculpture turns one, the city council is already planning a modest conservation program to ensure the troll remains a beloved fixture for years to come, cementing its role as a symbol of local creativity and communal joy.
