WILCOX— A special egg from Nebraska is part of the 2006 Easter egg display at the White House, thanks to Grace Adam of Wilcox.

Her decorated egg beat 10 other eggs submitted by Nebraska artists for the White House Easter egg contest, which is organized by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture in conjunction with the American Egg Board.

One egg from each state and the District of Columbia are on display.

Adam went to the capital to see the display.

Each Nebraska contestant decorated a blown-out chicken egg to illustrate something special about Nebraska.

Adam’s egg features the red University of Nebraska “N,” Chimney Rock, a sandhill crane and corn and cow head.
