On a cold, beautiful day in Theodore Wirth Park, visitors were busily skiing, hiking and even bicycling on the snowy trails.
And… oh yes, visiting with a fictional caveman named 'Zug Zug.'
"We hoped to bring a little joy into people's lives," explains Ian Molloy-Busse, a sculptor with the Leonic Art Collective. "Maybe give them a reason to get out and about in this beautiful park and hopefully put a smile on somebody's face."
Just weeks ago, Zug Zug--- made of clay and encased in a block of very realistic fake ice, made of Plexiglas and epoxy--- mysteriously appeared at a publicly undisclosed location inside the park.
