Tour the Twine

     The largest ball of twine is located in Cawker City, Kansas.  Frank Stoeber is the man who created the ball of twine, starting his project in 1953.  In 4 short years, after the ball was created, it weighed 5,000 pounds and was 8 feet tall.  As of today, the huge ball weighs a whopping 19,873 pounds.  
      If you want to be apart of the "World's Largest Things" every August Cawker City holds a Twine-A-Thon, where those attending add more twine to large ball, nevertheless, making it more giant than it already is. 
     Cawker City, Kansas is a town to stop in, especially to see the "Largest Ball of Twine."
