Glenn Goode's Big People

The quintet of Big People still stands tall outside of a lot full of cars and FedEx delivery trucks. There's a small calf next to the Uniroyal Gal.

Still there as of April 20, 2021.

That's a pair of Big John grocery store clerks, a Uniroyal gal, two hybrid waving Muffler Men, and a random calf, maintained for your viewing pleasure by the family of the late Glenn Goode.

Pretty cool little side trip to see!

[Charity, 09/03/2014]

Glenn Goode's gargantuan gathering always merits a detour off the interstate. The calf is the wrong scale -- but we like to imagine it as something a giant might skewer to barbecue.

With the big people.

We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Goode today and hearing stories of how he acquired the big people and seeing the molds. Thank you Mr. Goode!

Glenn Goode, friends, Muffler Man mold head.

This place is something to see. If you are lucky enough to stumble upon Mr. Goode himself, then you are in for a real treat. He will tell you old stories and even take you in his workshop to see the mold for the giant statue's head. He was so great with the kids as well. Loved this little stop.
