Iowa Egg Council Decorated Egg Display at the Early Public Library in Early

(February 1, 2010) - The Early Public Library is host to the Iowa Egg Council's Iowa Egg Decorating Contest participants through the month of February. Each year the Iowa Egg Council sponsors the Iowa Egg Decorating Contest held at the Homemakers Theater at the Iowa State Fair. The decorated egg entries are then displayed at participating Iowa libraries throughout the year.

The eleven beautifully decorated eggs are the creations of various Iowa artists. Eggs were entered in the Iowa Egg Decorating Contest, held during the 2009 Iowa State Fair. The contest invites Iowa artists to decorate an egg that depicts a special Iowa feature, theme, icon or location.

Marjorie Nedjl of Ely received a $500 cash prize for her winning egg titled, "2008-Year of the Flood." Second place honors went to Marion Smith of Eagle Grove with her egg, "The Four Seasons of Iowa" and Sandra Weitzel of Early won third place with "American Gothegg."

The exhibition will be on display in March at the Norelius Community Library in Denison. The complete 2009-2010 Iowa Decorated Egg Library Tour schedule is available on the Iowa Egg Council's Web site www.iowaegg.org or call 1-877-IOWAEGG.
