A Little History:

The giant fork was originally created for Churchill's Coffee. When the restaurant closed its doors, Noble and Associates, the advertising agency behind the fork, moved it to their headquarters on West Chesterfield Boulevard.

This address, with "Chesterfield" in it, sometimes causes confusion with the city of Chesterfield, Missouri.

While other forks might claim to be the "world's largest" based on different measurements, the Springfield fork remains notable for its sheer size and solid stainless steel construction.

It's a fun piece of local history and a memorable landmark!
