Public asked to vote on egg artistry contest entriesNebraska Six Nebraska artists have submitted entries in the 13th annual egg artistry contest sponsored by the Poultry and Egg Division of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. The public can view the eggs and vote for their favorite one at the University of Nebraska State Museum (Morrill Hall) on the UNL City Campus (14th and U Streets) in Lincoln. The eggs will be on display until Oct. 2. Museum hours are: Mondays through Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Eggs are to be judged based on the best depiction of the state of Nebraska. The winning egg will be taken by the American Egg Board, along with other state submissions, to Washington, D.C., to be on display at the White House during Easter, 2007. A Nebraska artist will have his or her work viewed by the President of the United States and White House visitors. Those competing in this year's Nebraska egg artistry contest are: Veronica Kiuntke, Columbus; Carolyn Rix, Fremont; Jennifer Bartling, Fremont; Sandra Erickson, North Platte; Joy Carey, Omaha; and Pat Ruge, Walthill. The contestants' eggs can be viewed on the Nebraska Department of Agriculture's website at www.nebraskapoultry.org/photos/egg/07contest.htm.
