This gnome-like kingish where-the-wild-things-are-looking sculpture from the Loppet got really creepy just before face-planting. Alas, a week of rain washes away all the evidence.
Yes, it’s all fake. They hauled it in for the Loppet Cross Country Ski Race. Yes, a ski race in the city. No, I don’t get it either.
Remember the loppet? For some reason, they feel the need to take the ski race from the lakes up hill through our residential neighborhood to finish near Hennepin. To do that, they haul man-made snow in and dump it all over the street. Then, when they are done with our neighborhood, they don’t remove the snow, they just pile it up all over, changing a normally nice open parkway in the city into an ugly series of blind intersections.
