Welcome to Vulcan with location information Welcome to Vulcan Welcome to Vulcan in Vulcan script

Vulcan Alberta has this neat tourist attraction

I originally saw this on the news, so when I had a chance to see it live in 95, I went. Apparently, Vulcan wanted some attraction to bring a few more credits their way, and someone came up with this idea. The town name and the starship go well together.

I've updated the pictures from a collection I took when I went back through the town in August of 2006. These were taken with a digital camera while the previous set were taken with 35mm film and scanned from the prints. I think these are much better.

Enjoy the pictures. If you're in that area, it is north of Lethbridge.
