Casey, IL - Worlds Largest Rocking Chair, Wind Chime, Shoes, Golf Tee
Today while traveling West toward St. Louis to visit Jeannie’s brother Bob and wife Carol, we saw signs on Rt 70 for the World’s Largest Wind Chime, and Golf Tee. Since we were slightly ahead of schedule, decided to stop and have a look.
Much to our pleasant surprise, the town of Casey, IL was a very nice quaint town with a slogan of ‘A small town with BIG things’! Not only did they have the World’s Largest Wind Chime, but also the largest Golf Tee, Shoes, Pitch Fork and Rocking Chair with many others in the works…

Big Things in a Small Town: Casey’s Guinness World Records (Casey, IL)
Join us in Casey, IL as we check out large items in a small town. The Guinness World Records has certified 8 items as the largest in the world! These items: Rocking Chair, Pitchfork, Wind Chime, Golf Tee, Mailbox, Wooden Shoes, Knitting Needles, and a Crochet Hook. The town continues their mission of adding large items with plans to construct the largest Teeter-Totter. Come along with us!
Parking: Street parking. Most of the items are within walking distance and in the Main Street square. The Token Coin and Pitchfork are off the main drag, so you will need to drive to these items.
Worth a Visit: YES! Casey is such a cute little town. We love spending time in small towns because it is so different than the life we are used to. The Guinness certified items are larger than life! The Rocking Chair alone must be seen to be believed! Everyone in Casey was super nice and show pride in their town. For an accurate location of all of the items, go to bigthingssmalltown.com.

6 Guinness World Record Attempts In Casey, IL. - More Big Things In A Small Town + Teeter Totter
6 Guinness World Record Attempts In Casey, IL. - More Big Things In A Small Town + Teeter Totter!
Casey, Illinois, is no stranger to setting Guinness World Records! The town is home to the World's Largest Rocking Chair and World's Largest Wind Chimes, along with several other big things. These Big Things In A Small Town have attracted a lot of interest and tourism, and the people of Casey aren't finished adding new big things to their list.
Thanks to some new items created by Jim Bolin and his crew from Bolin Enterprises, the Guinness World Records organization sent Adjudicator Mike Marcotte to Casey, Illinois on Saturday, September 28, 2019. Mr. Marcotte's mission was to measure and judge whether these six new things would qualify as the World's Largest of their kind. It was an exciting day for the town of approximately 2,700 people, and several residents, out-of-towners, and members of the media turned out to witness the proceedings.
What Mike Marcotte had to judge were these six, hopefully world's largest, big things that Jim Bolin had crafted: teeter totter, barber pole, golf club, key, swizzle spoon, and gavel. Did all six of the items achieve World's Largest status with Guinnes World Records? Maybe, but to find out for sure, please watch the video!

This 25 ft. iPod is attached to the side of the Unizan Bank building across from the State house at Third St in Columbus, Ohio. Not only does it look like an iPod, but it actually plays music. The gadget was created for Columbus Alive, a weekly entertainment magazine and website serving central Ohio with fresh, fun coverage of the music, arts, food and nightlife that makes Columbus, Ohio, tick! We chose some of our favorite local musicians that had submitted songs to the online jukebox and we added them to the iPod playlist, Columbus Alive report.

1. Boobs -
The largest breast belongs to Annie Hawkins-Turner (aka Norma Stitz) (USA) who has an under breast measurement of 109.22 cm (43 in) and an around chest-over-nipple measurement of 177.8 cm (70 in).She currently wears a US size 52I bra, the largest made, but by American bra estimation, these measurements would put her in a 48V bra, which is not manufactured. Annie says that her record-breaking bust began developing at the age of nine I just started growing, and kept right on. I started wearing a bra when I was in third grade, and it was a regular grown-up woman's bra. I don't remember ever weaing a training bra. Annie was awarded her Guinness World Records title in 2000. It made me feel like a million bucks. It's such an honour. This will go down in history. It's something I will always cherish.
