Casey, Illinois is a small town known for its big things. The town is home to over thirty roadside attractions, including twelve record holding world’s largest things! The big ear of corn might be one of the smallest big things in Casey, but it’s still cream of the crop!
The big corn cob was one of the first things made by Jim Bolin, the man behind most of the town’s giant roadside attractions. It’s made of wood and was carved with a chainsaw. The sculpture features a bright yellow corn cob bursting with kernels and sitting inside a peeled back husk.
