Description: The "World's Largest Red Paper Clip" is located in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada. The giant paperclip is a fun and quirky attraction that pays homage to a remarkable online trading journey. The story behind the "World's Largest Red Paper Clip" began in 2005 when a man named Kyle MacDonald embarked on a project known as the "One Red Paperclip." He started with a single red paperclip and set out to make a series of online trades, each one bigger than the last, with the ultimate goal of trading for a house. After a series of trades, Kyle eventually traded the red paperclip for a small fish-shaped pen. The pen, in turn, was traded for a doorknob with a smiling face on it. The doorknob was exchanged for a camping stove, and the trades continued until Kyle finally traded for a recording contract. The recording contract allowed him to fulfill his dream of making a music album, and the album's success eventually led him to achieve his ultimate goal—a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan. To celebrate this remarkable journey, the town of Kipling erected the "World's Largest Red Paper Clip" as a tribute to Kyle MacDonald and his unique accomplishment. The giant red paperclip is a beloved attraction in Kipling and serves as a reminder of the power of creativity, determination, and the incredible possibilities that can arise from even the smallest of beginnings.
