Jolly Green Giant - Located off exit 119 on Interstate 90, the small Minnesota town of Blue Earth (population 3,745) displays a 55-foot fiberglass statue of the Jolly Green Giant, the mascot for the Green Giant Frozen Foods Company. In 1978, the town spent $43,000 to erect it (dedicated in 1979). The base of the statue reads: "Welcome to the Valley, Blue Earth, Minnesota." Information on the statue can be obtained by writing c/o Chamber of Commerce, Blue Earth, Minnesota 56013.
