Popcorn Ball

Saw the World's largest Popcorn Ball. It was re-made in February 2009. It took 253 volunteers, 12 hours and 40 minutes to make this ball. It took 900 lbs. of popcorn, 2700 lbs of sugar, and 1400 lbs of syrup to make this. According to the sign it weighs 5000 lbs. Quite a sight inside the building showroom on main street.
