Who’s Big Pete? Well, his full name is Big Pete with the Big Feet, and he’s a 65-foot tall wooden troll. And where’s he lying? Right above the 1,200 acre River District development in West Charlotte. Big Pete with the Big Feet and Charlotte are the newest sculpture and city to join the “Trail of a Thousand Trolls” project from renowned recycling artist Thomas Dambo. Big Pete marks Dambo’s 173rd troll, which he makes from salvaged material from wood, to bourbon barrels to random nearby branches.
