The "Big Man" has been a Farmington landmark since the early 1960's, previously residing at Western Tire. In the spring of 2005, Western Tire closed their doors and the "Big Man" was purchased by Sun Glass. In a contest, the community was asked to give the "Big Man" a name. After many ideas, the winning name chosen was "Sunny the Big Man."
“Sunny the Big Man” is one of the many "Muffler Men" that are located throughout the United States. Sunny the Big Man’s costumes currently consist of his Sun Glass uniform, a black tuxedo with tails and top hat, Connie Mack baseball uniform, western cowboy hat, and a Santa Claus suit. The community enjoys seeing his costumes change to meet the season and special occasions.
Sunny stands 22 feet tall and is a popular photo opportunity for those visiting the Farmington and Four Corners area. All parades in Farmington come past “Sunny the Big Man” and a local radio station now broadcasts all parades from his location, increasing civic pride at 602 West main.
