The Jolly Green Giant is a 55 foot tall fiberglass monstrosity that was built by the town of Blue Earth as a tourist attraction. Too bad that Walmart now blocks the view of him from the freeway.

The 55 foot tall Jolly Green Giant was built to bring tourists to the town of Blue Earth and it worked. Adjacent to the statue is a small barn which is a visitor center. Also near by are cutouts of "Sprout" in a little garden.
To find the giant, take exit 119 off of I-90, on US Hwy 169 past CR-104, along Giant Drive to the right. It's near the Walmart, which is harder to miss than the giant.
