On January 1, 1977 Michael Carmichael and his oldest son, only three at the time, started painting a baseball. That son has children of his own now, and that baseball now hangs from a rafter in a small building in back of Mike's house, all 1,300+ pounds and 18,000+ coats of it. The Carmichaels will be glad for your family or group to visit and add paint to this Guiness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not Ball of Paint! Contact them to schedule a visit.
