The World's Largest Turkey Sub Sandwich, sponsored by Cargill, Inc., was constructed on the south side of the Courthouse Square Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Annual Ozark Ham and Turkey Festival.
The sandwich was 72.5 feet in total length.

Serving began at 11:30 a.m. with honorary servers being Mayor Norris Gerhart, Festival Chairman Brad Baer and Prosecuting Attorney Shane Healea.
