Squirting Clam was right next to the World's Largest Frying Pan in Long
Beach, Washington. The World's Largest Frying Pan was built in 1941
for the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce. It was used at the annual Clam
Festival. The big pan has traveled extensively in the Northwest to advertise
the Long Beach Peninsula vacation area. It measures 14 feet 6 inches
from end of the handle tall and 9 feet 6 inches across pan portion.

Below: Marsh's Free Museum
was right across the street from the big frying pan. It is a "free
museum" in the successful tradition of tourist stops that mix the
free part with plenty of purchasing opportunities. Marsh's Free Museum
is a large souvenir and gift shop, jammed-to-the-rafters with displays
of priceless oddities, antiques and sideshow remnants. |
