Small Town, Giant Things

We spent the weekend in Dubois, WY (now before you read further please note that the residents of this small town insist it is pronounced dew-boyz---I know, whatever). Eric had a work conference and Cordelia and I decided to tag along for the fun of it. The population of the town is 971 so I think you get a picture of what I mean when I say small town!

We stayed at the Twin Pines Lodge in an absolutely charming little cabin. We had a very relaxed visit, but while we were there we noticed one strange thing about this very small town....they have a lot of large stuff. Spotting the oversize offerings became something of a sport for us. I am here to report back to you with our findings...

Giant Jackalope (for you non-westerners jackalope = antelope + jack rabbit). This bad boy was located out front of a convenience store, vegans should never never enter that store.

I wonder if this phenomena is specific to Dubois (dew-boyz) or if it is something that happens in other small towns. Further investigation is required.

Oh and I don't know how this fits with the theme, but I just felt like sharing.

We really loved the unique and personalized touch that the residents of Dubois (dew-boyz) brought to their town.
