Clermont, KY - Three lovable giants have taken over Bernheim Forest capturing the imaginations of Kentuckians. From start to finish these creatures are amazing. The giant's creator is Danish artist Thomas Dambo who has installed similar giants all over the world. And would you believe it, if we told you, prior to hand making dozens of forest friends he was a touring reggae hip-hop artist? Wild. In March Spectrum News 1 spent a day with Dambo as he and his team built the now popular forest attraction. We find out his inspiration and the message behind his work because incredibly each giant is made from recycled or reclaimed lumber. Dambo even shows us how he incorporated old Kentucky bourbon barrels into one of his designs. On May 18th, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is hosting Fe Fi Fo FunFest to properly celebrate its new inhabitants.
