At an estate sale I found a color slide of barefoot Big Amos as he looked at Zinn's Diner in the mid-1970s.

Amos is standing tall in front of the Hershey Inn and Restaurant. He looks like he is very happy there and his toenails are painted white. The restaurant has a Grand Smorgasbord, aka buffet. Food is good, could be hotter.
They have a very nice trail walk that was lined in fall mums. They were selling huge pumpkins and flowers.

Cool area, awesome statue -- if you're into this kind of stuff absolutely stop here. It's in the Hershey's center there, and it even has a restaurant.

Boy he's big!
While we visited, the area was holding a Whoopie Pie Festival. A treat local to the region, it's made from two cake like cookies, preferably chocolate, with sweet creamy filling in between. You can find other flavor combinations as well. The festival was offering folks a piece of the world's largest whoopie pie the day we were there, weighing in at over 200 pounds!

The Amish giant first appeared outside Zinn's in 1969. He's remained remarkably consistent over the years, just like flesh-and-blood Amish.
