Big Czech Egg.

World's Largest Czechoslovakian Egg

Is big!!

[Michelle, 07/13/2015]

They finally added the decorative painting on the big shell in April 2015, so now its claim as "World's Largest Czechoslovakian Egg" makes more sense.

The egg has finally been painted! Sort of. It's now solid black. No mention of when more painting will occur, but I'm sure they'll get to it real soon now.

[Lin S., 10/12/2014]

Czech Eggs are known for their colorfully painted shells. This one has lingered in monotone since its arrival in 2012.

It still isn't painted. We would have rated it a 2.

[M, 06/25/2014]

The town's miscalculation, so far, was to proclaim it the largest Czech egg... without decorating it. As a plain old egg, it's bigger than America's other giant egg claimants.

Happy egg.

Big egg.

We expect they'll paint the giant concrete egg in the czech style when it's warmer. Later, happy egg!
