Largest Pysanka

In honour of Easter, here are some links to the world's largest Easter egg or Pysanka, which is found in Vegreville, Alberta. I have seen it myself and would encourage anyone travel highway #16 from Edmonton to Lloydminister to stop in and see it up close. I do have pictures of the non-digital kind some where but for this blog I will use the online digital ones. Some would say why such a large Pysanka (Or why make it at all? ... Nephew Matthew)? Others would say why not? I merely present this as something to blog about.
Here are the facts:
