World's Largest Ukrainian Egg


I stayed over night in Edmonton after seeing the world's largest western boot and the next day we decided to take a detour home and stop in Vegreville, Alberta. Ok so it really wasn't a detour, it really was out of the way by like an hour, actually I think more. But I am very convincing and I think in the end it was really worth it lol :) Just an fyi there is nothing between Edmonton and Vegreville and when I say nothing I mean absolutely nothing. It is one of the most boringest drives ever. Now that I've sold that trip it really is kinda cool once you get there. Now when I saw that these things are kinda cool, I mean cool for a world's largest thing. It is on the far side of town...if you are coming from Edmonton, on the north side of Highway 16A, in Elk's Park. It is 25.7 feet wide, 18.3 feet high, and weighs 5000 lbs. It was made out of 3500 pieces of aluminum. It was designed by a guy named Ron Resch who I assume built it too.

World's Largest Western Boot




This is actually when I decided to find all the world's largest things and I sought this one out on a trip to Edmonton, Alberta. It is located at 10007 167 Street NW right in front of Stallion Boot and Jean Company. It is made out of fiberglass and almost 40 feet tall. It is what remains of the old boot factory that was there. There are other world's largest boots but this one is the world's largest lone boot. The other ones are pairs of boots. So this one counts.
