In the film, American Collectors, one of the featured collectors has a giant ball of string that has been in his family for years. Its bigger than one of those exercise balls people use instead of chairs in some home offices. At the time we shot this segment it was the biggest ball of string I had ever seen!
Thanks to "road side america" I'm discovering that there are more giant balls out there and some are made of materials like stamps, plastic string, twine and barbed wire.
The largest ball of twine resides in Darwin Minnesota and measures 12 feet in diameter.. Cawker City Kansas also has a giant ball of twine. Its only 1 foot shy of the Darwin champion and the town hosts a yearly festival celebrating this proud achievement!
