Go into the shop behind the Giant Mailbox and buy a postcard and stamp. Mail from the largest mailbox and watch the red flag move. Great fun for kids to do. My teen loved it, and saved the postcard when it came to our house.

The wood is beautiful! They have built a candy shop just behind it. The downtown area of Casey has many large things. As I was visiting, an older gentleman rolled his truck window down and said to come back next year, as he has lots of new things in the works!
