"The World's Largest Pitchfork was created to be placed at Richards Farm Restaurant. Jim Bolin and his crew started on the Pitchfork in 2014," the Big Things in a Small Town says.

"With this project, Jim had no previous record to beat. When a World's Largest is the first of its kind, the record book requires you to make an item 10 times larger than the typical sized model.

"The Pitchfork handle is made of reclaimed Western Red Cedar and the metal portion was created primarily from parts of old streetlight illuminator arms. The Pitchfork received the title of "World's Largest" on October 20, 2015."

"The World’s Largest Pitchfork was an entirely unique entry into the Guiness Book, which required Bolin to construct the pitchfork at least 10 times the size of the real item," the Roadtrippers.com says.

"The resulting 60-foot-long, 1,940-pound tool comprises reclaimed Western red cedar wood and streetlight illuminator arms. It sits outside of Richards Farm Restaurant, open since 1976 in a 1930’s barn."

"Did you know that the Pitchfork is the tallest of the World’s largest attraction in Casey, IL?," the Roadtrippers says.

"Measuring 60 feet in length and 1,940lbs, this unique attraction located at Richards Farm Restaurant makes for a fun photo!"

"I think that this Illinois roadside attraction is pitch perfect. It’s the World’s Largest Pitchfork in Casey, Illinois. The giant pitchfork can be found near Richards Farm Restaurant in a small town that celebrates big things," the Silly America says.

"Casey, Illinois holds twelve world records for world’s largest things, and this one is 1,940 pound roadside attraction is among them. With no previous record to beat, the pitchfork was created to be more than ten times the size of a normal sized tool to meet Guinness World Records’s requirements.

"It might not look it, but, at 60 feet long, the world’s largest pitchfork would actually be even taller than Casey’s world’s largest rocking chair if you stood it on end. Jim Bolin, the man behind all of Casey’s crazy creations, started work on the pitchfork in 2014, unveiled in July 2015, and received Guinness certification in October 2015."

"Yup - it's a giant pitchfork, and it looks a bit menacing in its bucolic setting," the Fotospot.com says.



"The sharp tines are capped in plastic so that potential Darwin Award winners don't impale themselves."

"I went onto the Harvest Hosts app and searched for Richards Farm and Restaurant in Casey, IL. Bingo! There it was, pitchfork and all. They had ample parking for RVs of all sizes, and they had availability. Suddenly, I knew exactly where we needed to be. I immediately requested a stay, and the hosts immediately confirmed," the Brighter on Wheels says.

"We drove up to Casey and arrived around 4:30PM. As soon as we turned into the parking lot, we were greeted by the giant pitchfork as well as some funky cardboard cut-out photo frames, and beyond those were quaint little pathways, beautiful landscaping, green fields, a pond with a walking bridge, farm animals, and lots of sitting areas. We were told to park anywhere in the back lot and chose to nestle ourselves under a fruit tree.

"After we settled in, we took Tanner around the grounds for a quick walk, snapping pictures of the garden paths and the pitchfork. Then we brought Tanner back inside and took a couple more photos in the cardboard cutouts before heading into the restaurant for an early dinner. The food was outstanding, as was the service."
