Giant Sprinkler Can and Giant Flower Pots

The town of Staunton, Virginia has a large sprinkling can and two giant flower pots. The were created by Ferguson's Metal Fabrication. The Fabrication Shop has a giant steel Pinocchio and giant crutches. Last Memorial Day they displayed giant military hemlets and rifles. Ferguson's shop is pretty cool too. It's full of improbable machines and large stainless steel robot legs. The Staunton library and hospital also display his large structures.
