You love The Fremont Troll but you wish you had a miniature version that you could grow moss on top of…

Today is your day, friend.

Now available at Bartells Drug…The Chia Fremont Troll. He retails for $24.99 and 20% of the proceeds go to benefit the Fremont Arts Council.

Kudos to Steve Badanes, Will Martin and Ross Whitehead for working with the fine folks at Chia to make it happen.

    Saw them today at the Bartells at 65th & Roosevelt.
    I didn’t realize they’re also fundraisers. Great idea!

    I really want one of these but I’m in California (former Seattle resident). Any idea if they will end up being available online somewhere? Bartell’s doesn’t have a web store. Thanks in advance if you have any info!

    Jen, I live in MN, ordered one yesterday. I found Bartell’s number online, called, left a message and someone called me back within 5 minutes. Call Tina at 425-881-5678. I can’t wait for mine to arrive!
