Emily Metz, president of the American Egg Board commented on the 2021 presentation of the AEB Commemorative Egg to the First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden at a White House event, muted by ongoing COVID restrictions that included cancellation of the 2021  Annual Easter Egg Roll .

Emily Metz reported “This year’s First Lady’s Commemorative Egg was intricately designed to honor Dr. Jill Biden and her shared commitment with America’s egg farmers to serving those in need, at such a great time of need, and to reflect the American spirit of hope and optimism in the wake of COVID-19”.

Designed by egg artist Russ Hagen, the 2021 First Lady’s Commemorative Egg features the White House front and back flanked by meticulously crafted cherry blossoms. The image of the White House appears on hand-cut, vintage silk.
