                      The World's Largest Cookie Jar



                      World's Largest Western Boot - Edmonton, Alberta
                 World's Largest Western Boot


                                   World's Largest Snowman - Beardmore, Ontario
                                      World's Largest Snowman 

                               Pants Down Pig - Cambridge Narrows, New Brunswick
                          (no comment)

So what are some great roadside attractions in your  country?

I'm Canadian too and we've also got Sudbery's giant Nickel and Peterborough's super old liftlocks (and canoe museum). Also we have a lot of pioneer village museums, I can think of at least 3. Also Ottawas museum of civilization is so good!

OMG we have a snowman too!

In MN we have the world's largest pelican and the world's largest otter...quite fantastic, eh? I'm especially fond of your cowboy boot.
Oh, and when I was in Sweden I saw a pretty large cheese slicer statue thing. Haha.

LMAO! That reminds me of the Corner Gas episode from season 1 where they decide they want to put up one in their town to attract tourists. I think the ep was called World's Biggest Thing. So hilarious!

Since I live in the city, there really isn't any country, but when I go to the country, I love to see the horses and cows.

Largest cookie jar?! That seems like a bit of a stretch...

Canada is the most bored country I've ever visit, I prefer Brazil instead, with it's carnival and it's beautiful women.
