World's largest items in Saskatchewan
Davidson, Saskatchewan - World's largest coffee pot
Davidson is home to the world's largest coffee pot.

Kipling, Saskatchewan - World's largest paper-clip
The story of the red paper-clip in Kipling, Sask. is known across the globe.
A Canadian man by the name of Kyle MacDonald set out to do a series of trades, hoping to obtain a house. He started in Montreal with a red paper-clip and ended in Kipling, with an offer of a house.

The strangely shaped statue in Macklin is of a horse ankle, which is a game piece in bunnock.
Bunnock is a team based game where players throw the bones to knock over their opponent's pieces.
Macklin is not only home to the world's biggest bunnock bone but also the world bunnock championship held every summer.

The statue of Mo is around 7 metres long, from his tail all the way to his sharp chompers.
