Preston Kelly wanted to add some dimension to these Grand Casino billboards featuring the iconic Troll Doll. So we essentially made giant Troll Doll wigs. Each one is 16 feet wide and rise 5 feet above the billboard. They are constructed of a plywood support backing with foam that was then carved. The whole sculpture is then coated with a plastic shell and painted.
Two of them were fabricated and both were installed within the last week by the fine folks at Clear Channel.
One can be found on Northbound I-94 near Rogers, Mn for Grand Casino Mille Lacs. The other is near the 694/35E split in Vadnais Heights, Mn for Grand Casino Hinckley .
The I-94 billboard.
Step 1: Construct the reinforced plywood backbone.
Step 2: Adhere the plywood and foam together, making them one.
Step 3: Start carving away at the foam like a madman finding his way out of a snow storm.
Step 4: Coat with a durable plastic shell, put your shades on and paint it bright pink.
Step 5: It gets installed and you adventure out for a night picture.

Hi MNFX team,
Thanks for all your help on building the “troll” boards for Grand Casino. It looks great and the Grand Casino team is pleased. We think it will connect with and help drive more guests to the Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Hinckley properties. Thanks again.
