North of the Target store parking lot on SE 3rd street in Ames. From Interstate I-35, go West on Hwy 30 to Ames. Turn North on the Duff Avenue exit. Travel one mile North on Duff and you will see the Target store on the East side of the road. Park in the Target lot and walk across the street to see the pitch fork.
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.
