Things Getting Bigger in Casey-- Part 2: Giant Rocking Chair, Pitchfork, Golf Tee and Wooden Shoes

The first time I really heard about all the bigger things they had in Casey was when Liz and I were at Rich Henry's Rabbit ranch in Staunton, Illinois.  A couple came in and were asking where the largest rocking chair in the world was.  We quickly told them it was just west of Cuba, Missouri, at the Fanning Outpost.

They were using an app which said it was at Casey, Illinois, and didn't know that was on Route 66.  So, someone had built a bigger rocking chair.

People in Casey credit its new-found popularity to Jim Bolin, who is the creator of these giant, one-of-a-kind attractions.  Let's face it, the world's largest rocking chair could pull in tourists, but Jim has created a lot of the world's largest and really, really big things for Casey.

These big things include, besides the rocking chair, the world's largest pitchfork, world's largest golf tee, world's largest wooden shoes and they are hyped on blue signs along I-70.  They keep people in Casey for longer than a pit stop or pop drink.

And, the collection keeps getting bigger.
