Nancy Filak exhibited her considerable talent in egg decorating on Sunday, April 24, 2005. Everyone was interested in watching her steady hand gingerly draw the patterns on a raw egg. As she slowly changed the plain egg into a beautiful piece of art, she answered the many questions the onlookers asked. Pictures of the event are on the Pictures’ Page.
