Vegreville’s Egg and Spoon Race Brings Community Together in a Record-Breaking Attempt
Town of Vegreville - Submitted
The Town of Vegreville proudly took on the challenge of attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Egg and Spoon Race on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
The attempt was held in honour of Vegreville’s famed Pysanka monument, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this summer, and was one of several Alberta Day events and celebrations held across the province that weekend.
While Vegreville’s attempt ultimately fell short of surpassing the current record held by Tepatitlán de Morelos, Mexico, hundreds of participants from Vegreville, the surrounding region, and even from across Canada traveled to Pysanka Park to take part in the fun and festivities.
Deputy Mayor/Councillor for Vegreville Justin Curtis said, “We’re exceptionally proud of the response this event generated, particularly the number of people who travelled to Vegreville to take part. We spoke with several participants from the Edmonton region who were visiting Vegreville for the first time, and even met a couple who travelled all the way from Ontario to join us. The fact that this event drew visitors from near and far to experience our community, our beautiful park, and our iconic Pysanka makes it a success in my books.
We want to express gratitude to everyone who helped.”
Community Engagement and Economic Development Manager for Vegreville Jamieson Brown shared that it was great to see the business community get involved in the event.
The Town of Vegreville extends its sincere gratitude to all event sponsors, participants, and staff whose support and enthusiasm made this record attempt a memorable success.
