Why a Minneapolis neighborhood sharpens a giant pencil every year

One thought on “Why a Minneapolis neighborhood sharpens a giant pencil every year”

1. The annual pencil sharpening event in Minneapolis sounds like such a unique tradition! It’s amazing how something so simple can bring a community together. I love the creativity and humor behind it — who even thought of sharpening a giant pencil? It’s probably a great photo opportunity and a fun way to meet neighbors. I wonder if there’s a story behind why they chose a No. 2 pencil specifically. Do people bring their own regular pencils to sharpen too, or is it just about the giant one? Honestly, this makes me wish I lived nearby just to experience it once. What’s the atmosphere like during the event — is it casual, or do people go all out with decorations and themes?
