	Fremont Art Council. Troll
		The enormous sculpture was commissioned by the Fremont Arts Council in 1989, under the leadership of parade co-founder Barbara Luecke, with the hope to build a greater sense of place in the neighborhood through art, and with it a stronger community.
		The goal of the project was not to build a Troll, but to tie the two sides of Bridge Park together, create a focal point in the neighborhood where residents would want to visit repeatedly and bring family and friends, and to take advantage of the view corridor down the underside of the Aurora Bridge.
		The Troll has exceeded the Arts Council's original goals for the project, except that many people are so enamoured of the Troll they forget to turn around and look down the view corridor between the bridge arches.
