- Casey, Illinois - Big Things in a Small Town Workshop
Jim Bolin is the visionary behind the Big Things project, which he hopes will revive his small town, and this workshop is where all of the giant things in Casey are being built.
Already on display in various spots in town are the World's Largest Wind Chimes (55 feet tall), World's Largest Golf Tee (30 feet tall), and World's Largest Knitting Needles (13 feet long). Complete and ready for placement are a pencil over 32 feet long, a pitchfork 60 feet long, and a 13-foot diameter World's Largest Wooden Token.
Next up: the World's Largest Rocking Chair (54 feet tall); a giant ruler (36 feet long), wooden clogs (2,500 pounds apiece), and a 36-foot-long mailbox that will automatically raise its giant flag whenever anyone posts a letter. The shop opened to the public in May 2015, and the workers are happy to chat with visitors.
