Bigger Is Better in Casey-- Part 5: Who Does the Measuring and a Giant Teeter-Totter

Jim Bolin, the man responsible for all that big stuff, says the Guinness recognition "brings legitimacy to what you're trying to do.  It gives you the stamp (of approval)."

He said Guinness had used his documentation on some of the items, but they took their own measurements of the world's largest barber pole, 15-feet tall and operational outside Tina's Barber Shop; a pickup truck key that's 26-feet long and weighs 1600 pounds outside the former Downtown Garage, and a functioning 123-foot long teeter-totter that can hold several persons at once.

You can give this giant a try Fridays to Sundays as long as volunteers are available to unlock the mechanism and ensure it is used safely.  (Remember back in your playground days when you'd get off and the person on the upside would come crashing down?)
