World’s Largest Pierogi Statue

World's largest pierogi statue in the village of Glendon, Canada.

Since yesterday’s post was about the world’s largest sausage.  I thought it might also be interesting to mention the word’s largest pierogi statue located in the village of Glendon, Alberta, Canada.

This 25 foot, 6000 pound, fibreglass statute was built in 1993 as a tribute to the area’s Ukrainian heritage.

The area has several restaurants nearby that serve pierogi’s and traditional Ukrainian food.  So, if you decide to visit the area you certainly won’t go hungry!  There’s also an annual Pyrohy festival that’s held in Glendon on the first Saturday in September.

For more photo’s and information about the statute along with the town of Glendon, you can visit their official website.
