Largest Easter Egg

This egg was designed by Ron Resch while he was Professor of Computer Science at the University of Utah

The size of the egg can be measured by the number of triangles. The diamond shape(rhombus) on the barrel has 6 triangles across the equator. So the shorter diagonal of the diamond is 6 feet long (roughly). The longer diagonal of the diamond is 10.63 feet long. About 10 adults holding hands can surround the equator of this giant egg.
Vegreville is a farming community with the largest Ukrainian settlement in Canada. The idea of an egg monument came from Town Council member Mrs. Kay McKenzie. The timing and funding of the project were related to the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Egg was dedicated in the summer of 1976.
