I absolutely love what the trolls have done for our area! ❤️
Over the past few weekends, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many visitors from all over. Yesterday alone, I talked with couples who had driven several hours just to come see the trolls. Many have stopped into Manning’s Whistle Stop for lunch, drinks, or just to relax before heading off to their next troll adventure.
One of my favorite parts has been hearing everyone’s stories—what trolls they’ve found so far, where they’ve traveled from, and what they plan to see next. It’s been so much fun sharing local recommendations and helping visitors discover all the great things our community has to offer.
Seeing so many people exploring our area makes me proud of our town. It truly feels like we’re becoming a destination, and I love watching our community come alive with visitors, families, and new faces.
And of course, it’s been a blast seeing so many people try our four troll-themed drinks! The feedback has been amazing, and it’s been a fun way for us to be part of the experience.
The trolls have brought more than just visitors—they’ve brought conversations, connections, excitement, and a lot of positive energy to our community. I am here for it! ❤️🍻🧌
