Only in Alberta

imageYesterday on Discover Foothills.com, a great mystery was solved:

The identity of a 22 foot cowboy in the foothills has been revealed. [...]

It’s part of “Raised Right”, the new marketing campaign for the Alberta Beef Producers and a 22 foot image of Dean Kennedy, a Pincher Creek area stockman and former NHL player now welcomes visitors at the Bar U turn off on Highway 22.

Promotions Committee Chairman Roy Eckert says another NHL’er will be blown up to sell Alberta Beef.

I’ve looked everywhere for the 22 foot image of Dean Kennedy supposedly now floating around the desert lands of southern Alberta, but no luck. Fortunately, Brian Sutter is set to be “blown up” for a future beefy advertisement, so perhaps even better photos are on their way.

P.S. Sadly, there’s no indication the universe will reward me anytime soon with giant tributes to Jarome Iginla floating around the prairies, hosting cattle parties and scaring children. Bah.
