Jim Bolin takes Guideposts readers on a tour of his hometown, which proudly boasts a dozen “World’s Largest” objects, from a towering rocking chair to a gigantic golf club.

Guideposts Video: Inspiring True Stories

 

Good morning, Guideposts and Guideposts viewers. Welcomed to my hometown, Casey, Illinois, population 2,700.

We are standing here in front of the world’s largest wind chime. Casey has 12 “World’s Largest” world records in the Guinness book, and I just want to show you and give you a tour around the town.

We’re standing in front of the world’s largest rocking chair. The rocking chair stands about 46 foot, one inch tall. It weighs 46,200 pounds.

These are the world’s largest wooden shoes. They weigh about 2,500 pounds a piece. To be in the Guinness book, you have to have a pair of clogs.

We’re unveiling a new product for Casey. Just thought I’d give you guys a sneak peek of what it’s going to look like. It actually functions. You can get inside. It’s just a poke ball, and a very comfortable poke ball, I may add.

I just want to thank Guideposts and the Guidepost viewers for coming and touring our small town today. I want to invite you to come and check out our town. We have thousands of visitors each year and we would like for you to be part of that.
