So, how do you like the World’s Largest Pysanka? It’s a Ukranian easter egg in the town of Vegreville, and nearby in the town of Mundare is the World’s Largest Sausage. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
Now all we need is the WL Toaster and the WL griddle. We can cook up the WL Omelet and WL Toast, and serve the WL Breakfast! Where’s the WL Orange? Gotta have OJ.
The blue buffalo - I have no idea what that’s all about. Maybe they got confused, thought Babe the blue ox was a buffalo. Anyway it’s kinda pretty - and right beside the WL Sausage.
This area has a lot of folks of Ukranian descent so you see onion dome churches and such. They’re having a 3-day Ukranian festival in Vegreville where the egg’s located.
It looks like the world's largest intestine hanging in the air.
ReplyDeleteI went to Dresden, Ohio and saw the world's largest basket. No kidding. Probably all this other stuff would fit in it.
Why do the midwest and central provinces have so much of this stuff? I postulate that it is for their identity as a place. On the east and west, we have the ocean and mountains, and that is enough.
At PSU I took a geography class called "A Sense of Place" and the prof said that in these small towns the welcome signs at the entrance to town "Welcome to Fairfield, home of the ---" are really more for the people in the town than for the people passing through. The "AAA State Basketball Champs, 1976", the "4H Breadmaker Clubs", etc are to reinforce their own identity.
As a sausage?
