Chamber promotes bobblehead project

YOUNGSTOWN — The 3-D printed, life-size Donald Trump bobblehead commissioned by the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber has received lots of attention since the project was announced last month.

Representatives from the chamber and bobblehead designer Freshmade 3D met with a crew from the Danish Broadcasting Corp. for a documentary that will air on Sept. 11 to a viewership of 800,000.

They also met with Yoko Noge Dean, named one of the 100 most influential Japanese people in the world by Newsweek Japan, and Toyoki Nakanishi of the Nikkei Asian Review, which has a circulation of three million in Asia.

The chamber has utilized the project to promote the Youngstown-Warren area as a hub of advanced manufacturing research and business in the center of the nation’s TechBelt, which stretches from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.

The life-sized bobblehead of Trump will be at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this month.
