Ah, Alberta is weird. There are so many small, rural towns that erected huge and totally odd statues dedicated to... pretty much anything. Below is a list of some of the weirder attractions but I think there's over 30 so I'll have to do some more digging. Any suggestions?

Oh, and we must not forget the huge sausage in Mundare, Alberta. I have the pleasure of driving by this everytime we head to the lake at Lac Sante to visit family.
Mmm...I'm hungry.
