The Minnesota Valley Canning Company was an industrial vegetable cannery in Le Sueur, Minnesota that was founded in 1903. In 1928 they introduced the green giant mascot for their larger green vegetables.

We were in Minnesota earlier this summer driving down I-90 when the “Jolly Green Giant Sculpture” popped up on my Google Map in Blue Earth, Minnesota.

The Jolly Green Giant Statue Park gives plenty of room for a 38' RV towing a car to pull in and park and turn around. It was a nice place to stop and take a short break.
