Maxie - World's Largest Goose. Sumner, Missouri - Maxie the Canada Goose Festival

Sumner has an annual Goose Festival every third weekend of October. It's really cool. I go to this every year. They have a gooseberry pie contest.

The goose is named Maxie (which is a female). She is made of fiberglass, and is not just a monument, but has rollers on the bottom, and the beak points the direction in which the wind is blowing. [Joyce, 06/22/2007]

Sumner, Missouri - Maxie the Goose

In a park in the midst of a sad north-central Missouri town is a gigantic Rodan-like goose, as if taking off in flight. It's Maxie the Goose! Supposedly this area is the (self-named) Wild Goose Capital of the World." The funny thing is, when I was visiting, there were indeed hundreds of Canadian geese in V formations in the sky.
