In this Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2017 photo, volunteers help roll roll up a giant Christmas stocking after having it measured hoping it will make the cut for the world's largest in Sedalia, Mo. Sedalia's red-and-white stocking was officially measured as 177 feet tall for entry to the Guinness World Records. The city is trying to beat a record set by the Italian city of Carrara in 2011. The Missouri city's stocking is almost 10 feet (3.05 meters) longer. It's so large that with a few more inches, it would not have fit in the Missouri State Fair arena where it was unveiled.
