Centerville Store Boasts World's Largest Orange Display

Posted on 12/02/2009 5:36:28 PM PST by glock rocks

CENTERVILLE -- The world's largest display of oranges is in Centerville. It took 25 employees four hours Tuesday night to set up this display at the Fresh Market store at 84 W. Parish Lane.

When they were all done, there were 322,000 oranges -- or 164,000 pounds -- on display. Store manager Brian Waddoups said he hopes the oranges won't be around long.

"We're not hoping to sell them, we're going to sell them," Waddoups said.

He has about a month. The oranges will stay good until after the first of the year.

I haven’t connected my speakers yet :)

First thing I looked for was whether the store was in California. (earthquake central)

again, another post about some small town that nobody has ever heard of.

If you post a town, please include the state in the heading title.

Sorry, it’s fully explained in post #2. I personally thought Centerville was less significant than the Banana song.

From your post, it appears you have never been to Centerville, Utah. Then again, perhaps you are a Centerville aficionado, and are collecting Centervilles. It happens.

Disambiguator... I gotta remember the diambiguator :o)
