Hooppole, Illinois - Rolle Bolle Rosary The Belgian immigrants of this tiny town have created a giant rosary made from the balls and pucks used in the game Rolle Bolle. The sporting equipment was owned by now-deceased congregants. The rosary is laid out in a heart shape in a well-manicured garden setting on the grounds of the St Mary of the Fields Catholic Church. A gift shop offers tee-shirts and is open, unstaffed. Purchases are made on the honor system. [Dona Kight, 06/07/2003]
