The world is an odd place that only manages to get stranger by the day, so we here at Only in Colorado figured we would take this opportunity to highlight one of the downright weirdest places in the Centennial State! No, we aren’t talking about Casa Bonita, Cano’s Castle, or the International Church of Cannabis, but rather Saul the Sticker Ball:
Please note, Saul the Sticker Ball is temporarily closed.
Housed in Longmont, Saul the Sticker Ball is billed as being the world's most giant sticker ball, as verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Comprised of 200,000 parts, the idea for "Saul" came about before the first-ever National Sticker Day, which took place on January 13, 2016, in honor of self-adhesive peel-off label-inventor R. Stanton Avery.
What began as a wad of old stickers quickly morphed into a 231 pound, 9.6-ounce monster, that was created by the folks at StickerGiant and is currently housed in the lobby of their headquarters in Colorado.
According to StickerGiant, Saul "went home with employees for weekend field trips with the goal of growing even larger, and we all learned tricks along the way in the secrets of building a giant Sticker Ball," including how to make sticker patches and roll the ball to keep its perfect shape.
Named after Saul Goodman (a la "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" fame), Saul has been showcased in USA Today and on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Myers," and has received countless stickers from people around the world.
