Caryville, Tennessee - Big Green Dragon Cool dragon outside a fireworks store, with the Smoky Mountains in the background. [Wendy Jo Dupslaff, 09/14/2009]
Caryville, Tennessee - Big Green Dragon My brother Jim Cole of LaFollette, Tn. built this dragon. It is the real thing, built of rebar and fiberglass. He built this in 1986, for his friend Lansdon Hill.
The dragon stands a total of 36 feet and is located on Interstate 75 north at exit 134, LaFollette, Jacksboro, and Caryville exit.
So when you drive by and see this, remember Jim Cole built it and you now know the history of it. [K. Hock, 02/13/2009]

Good dragon!]
