J.P. and Sarah do the Catsup Bottle!!


J.P made a fantastic trip to the famous "World's Largest Catsup Bottle"!! The bottle is located on Illinois Route 159 going North through Collinsville. It's a great tourist spot that thousands of people each year visit and have their photo taken in front of. While the catsup bottle is a very important part of Collinsville, it is not their only claim to fame! Collinsville is also know as the world largest produced of horseradish! If you would like to visit the wonderful town of Collinsville and see the catsup bottle or find more information about it then you can visit their website at http://www.catsupbottle.com/ Their is also a fantastic Annual Brooks® World's Largest Catsup Bottle® Festival - Birthday Party & Car Show that takes place in the summer or the International Horseradish Festival that is also held in the summer about a week apart. The website for that is http://www.horseradishfestival.com/. Not only did JP have a great time visiting the catsup bottle but he found out a lot about the historic town and all of their claims to fame!
