Big pencil. Big Pencil

A wonderful town to explore -- the big pencil is only one of quite a few worthwhile odd attractions. I visited here based on the tip for this very cool, very huge pencil and ended up spending hours around the area. I love old, oversized 3D advertisements!

The big pencil is lookin' good. We went in the office supply store and met the nicest lady inside...she gave us some freebies, which was cool.

The Big Pencil. Big Pencil

From Pulaski, 22 miles south on Route 11, Wytheville Office Supply suspends The Big Pencil above it's awning. Sure, it makes sense from a marketing standpoint (Well, at least more sense than the giant barber's shears inside; which were brought over, I think, when a local barber shop closed). But it's still a local landmark.
