Conor Knighton visits Casey, Illinois, home to the World's Largest Rocking Chair, World's Largest Golf Tee, World's Largest Pitchfork, and World's Largest Wind Chime, among many other over-sized objects. It's a collection that has helped the tiny town halfway between St. Louis and Indianapolis loom large on the map of world records. (This story was originally broadcast August 20, 2017.)

    I love this story. Almost 50 years ago I was in a van with other "hippies" on our way to CA from IN and the van broke down in Casey. We were there two days for repairs and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The people were so friendly, the food was good. A complete stranger put us up at his house for two nights for no charge. I'm Black and didn't see a single other Black person the whole time but gosh I had a good time. I've since begun collecting miniatures. Seeing this story makes me want to go back to Casey with my little things. Good for you, Casey! And thanks for the memories CBS.

    I only live 30 miles from Casey and get there often. I drive a school bus for another district and our various sports teams compete often with the Casey/Westfield Warriors. Wonderful & friendly little town.

    The moment you see how large these objects are, down in Casey, you then think you’re one of the kids in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”.

    I live in Illinois and never heard of this town. Definitely going to put it on my list of places to visit when traveling through the state.

    Just stopped in Casey a few weeks ago on our long move to Florida. GREAT little town that's clean and has a good vibe!

    Oh my goodness now I wanna go see these things. I'm going to swing in that bird cage. Fun.
  • @dianamateo5443
    Great way to bring people in. I think my favorite is the mailbox. Makes me want to visit Casey.
  • @HappyLife693
    Very clever. Good for him to do what he can for his community.
  • @kellymccall3491
    The mailbox is incredibly clever! Great job! Makes us want to detour- your hook caught it

    We were going to Indiana (from St. Louis) this past weekend and saw the sign for these world's largest things in Casey, IL, and I wanted to stop so bad but I couldn't convince the husband! I'm so mad! This looks awesome. I must go back that way and see this stuff! This is on my bucket list now!
