You can find the world’s largest barber pole in front of Tina’s Barber Shop in town (and near the big birdcage, big pencil, and big Poke Ball). At 14 feet tall and 3 feet 11 inches wide, this Illinois roadside attraction is a hair above ten times the size of the standard. But, does that really make it the world’s largest?

There are other roadside attractions out there that proclaim themselves to be the world’s largest barber shop pole. And, I’ll admit, they are big, even bigger than the one in Casey. The World’s Largest Barber Pole in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is as tall as a house and the World’s Tallest Barber Pole in Forest Grove, Oregon reaches far into the sky at a whopping 70-feet.

But here’s the catch: while impressive, those roadside attractions are just wooden structures with red, white, and blue stripes painted on. They might look like giant barber poles but they aren’t actually working giant barber poles at all. But Casey’s roadside attraction is a large, mechanical, fully functioning barber pole.

Maybe we’re just splitting hairs, but with form and function, no other roadside attraction has Casey’s beat.
