2003 Decorated State Eggs

Local artists created the decorated eggs, which represent each state and the District of Columbia. The 2003 Easter Egg Collection continues the tradition that began in 1994 where each state sends a decorated egg to the White House for display. The collection is coordinated by the American Egg Board.
