World's Largest Easter Egg
Thousands of tourists from around the world visit Vegreville, Canada annually and marvel at the Pysanka Easter Egg. It measures 25.7 feet long, 18.3 feet wide, and stands 31.6 feet high.
The Pysanka is really an immense jig-saw puzzle containing 524 star patterns, 2,206 equilateral triangles, 3,512 visible facets, 6,978 nuts and bolts, and 177 internal struts.
The 2,000-pound aluminum skin is attached to the central mast at a 30-degree angle with 177 turnbuckle struts. Cessco International Ltd., Edmonton, fabricated the massive internal structure which weighs 3,000 pounds. The Pysanka rests on a 27,000-pound base of concrete and steel and turns in the wind like a weathervane.
