Large metal replica of a pitchfork. Constructed in 2003
Just north of Target, 320 S. Duff Ave., sits a stainless steel blue and orange pitchfork that many say is the world"s biggest.
The pitchfork"s creator, Clarence Martin, claims it is true.
'It is the world"s largest pitchfork,' he says.
Martin is the owner of Custom Steel Service, 217 High St., and says his motivation was simply to make something big -- 41 feet tall, to be exact.
He says he made it Superman blue to symbolize modesty carried to the extreme and orange for the international color for danger.
