New Landmark At The Lake

“Big Man,” is the new statue at Big Man’s Marina on Hwy. 391. It began its life as an unfinished, 7-ft. tall Bob’s Big Boy statue. Big Man Marina owner Duane Shealy has a friend in Arizona, who called to tell him about the statue he saw in a warehouse. He asked Duane if he wanted it. Duane said, “Yes.” He sent a truck to Arizona to get it. The drivers had never been to the Grand Canyon, so after they picked up Big Man, they took him with them to see the natural wonder. When they got back to Saluda County, Tammy Vance did the painting, and Ched Hurt built the large brick stand. “Big Man” now overlooks the lake.
