One of the best gnomes I have ever seen in my entire life.

Gotta love a giant Gnome at a place you can get fresh produce, ice cream and even play miniature golf!

We happened to just drive past this huge gnome right alongside Route 209 in NY heading to Lake George. You can't miss it. It is in the front yard of Kelder Farm, which has gardens and a miniature golf.
[Jen, 08/10/2007]The 13.5-foot-tall "Gnome Chomsky" was the world's largest when he was built in 2006 by New York City artist Maria Reidelbach. He was later topped by an 18-foot-tall gnome in Poland and a 15-footer in Iowa.
Guinness World Record holding, 13'6" tall garden gnome on a beautiful Hudson River Valley Farm, with a unique mini-golf course landscaped entirely with fruit, veggies, herbs and grain.
