Champ The Lake Monster

In the 1700’s the Abenaki and Iroquois had warned European settlers about the large serpent-like creature inhabiting the Lake Champlain, who they called Gitaskog. The monster has since been dubbed “America’s Loch Ness Monster,” and locally as “Champ.” AO Glass has created Champs since 2007 and they know where some of them are; one made it to Washington DC at one of the Vermont Senator’s offices, and one of them is in the time capsule buried just above the Echo Center as Burlington celebrated 400 years of being a city, not that long ago

Each Champ is hand-sculpted, about 3-6” long and has unique personality and shape.
