It’s Impossible Not To Love This Quirky Town In North Carolina

The Town of Rose Hill, population approximately 1,600, was settled in the 1840s and has a few notable claims to fame. The sleepy bedroom community is quiet and unassuming, except for during the annual North Carolina Poultry Festival each November. But the town has other claims to fame besides the poultry festival...

Not even the most notable of which is a claim that Rose Hill was depicted in the movie "Iron Man 3." We couldnt corroborate that other than via the statement on the town's website. But that doesn't matter, because even a blockbuster movie can't overshadow the town's real claim to fame.

Rose Hill is home to the largest frying pan in the world! Now before you roll your eyes... check it out:

The worlds' largest frying pan holds 200 gallons of oil, and can cook 365 chickens at once. It's 15 feet in diameter; 45 feet in circumference, and weighs in at two tons!

The pan was constructed and first used in the Rose Hill Poultry Jubilee in 1963. Today it's used for fundraising for local causes, as well as the annual poultry festival.

If you want to see this colossal frying pay in action, then the best place to do it is at the North Carolina Poultry Jubilee slated for November 2-3, 2018. You can learn more about the festival at this link and on the Facebook page
