Volunteers put together the three troll sculptures, with unveiling ceremonies taking place throughout the day Sunday.<\/p>\n
The North Kingstown sculpture, known as “Iver Mudslider”, is located at Ryan Park. <\/p>\n
“Young Boulder” resides at Acadia Management Area on the Exeter\/Richmond line. <\/p>\n
The East Providence sculpture, called “Mrs. Skipper” resides just off the East Bay Bike Path near the Kettle Point development. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am super happy to be back in Rhode Island and to add three more sculptures to my Thunderstone saga. All three locations are absolutely amazing, with stunning nature and beautiful wonders, so it is a real pleasure to be back to expand the exhibition,\u201d Dambo said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The two trolls at Ninigret Park, called “Greta Granite” and “Erik Rock”, have drawn big crowds since they first debuted in 2024.<\/p>\n
