World's Largest Catsup Bottle Revisited

I was out and about yesterday, so I decided to go check on the WLCB. It looks great for being 66 years old, doesn't it?

Sadly, the WLCB and property where it is located is for sale. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hopes that the eventual new owner will keep it as well preserved as it is now.

World's Largest Holstein

What could be better than a postcard of Salem Sue the World's Largest Holstein in New Salem, North Dakota?...

...That's right! Actually visiting Salem Sue the World's Largest Holstein in New Salem, North Dakota!

Hard to believe, but I was her only visitor while I was there. :)












I'm looking forward to going back someday for more of these fantastic views!

Will B. Rolling Statue

Here's a very recent, very fun find. It's in Port Byron, Illinois, and is named "Will B. Rolling".  "Will" and his Penny-farthing (old-fashioned bicycle) top out at 30 feet (9.14m).

Port Byron is a small town in northern Illinois alongside the mighty Mississippi River.

Fun fact: Port Byron competes with Le Claire, Iowa, each year in a "tug fest". A 2700' (823m) rope is stretched across the Mississippi River for a series of tug-of-war competitions.  Tug Fest is the only event in the U.S. that allows the Mississippi River to be shut down.

It dawned on me that I had this postcard in my collection. Soooo, you get a BONUS fun fact: "Will B. Rolling" is a replica of "Big Ben Bikin'" which is billed as the world's largest bicycle, and is located in Sparta, Wisconsin.

World's Largest Rocking Chair, Cuba, Missouri

This past week, I was cruisin' through the area of Cuba, Missouri, so I stopped by for a revisit. I'm a sucker for anything that's advertised as the "World's Largest".  :)

The rocking chair is located on the premises of  Fanning 66 Outpost. It is packed with Route 66 souvenirs, postcards, t-shirts, etc.

It's well worth a stop if you ever find yourself on I-44 in the eastern side of Missouri!
