Torrington Gopher Museum

Today my daughter, Gabrielle and I went to Olds, Alberta to do some shopping.  She drove.  She is practicing for her driver's license.

On the way home we decided to stop at the Torrington Gopher Museum.  I had often passed by and seen the signs, but never went in before today.  This museum was in the news a couple of years ago as the animal rights activists thought it was terrible to stuff gophers and exhibit them in a museum.  Those people obviously did not see the damage these animals cause.

They had a couple of rare gophers such as the albino gopher at the library and a rare black gopher.  We found the display rather amusing. 

They also had some beautiful handwork to sell.  There were hand knit sweaters and petit point book marks. 

It was an enjoyable sunny day!
