Residents have overwhelmingly chosen the mining dinosaur in a coal car as their clear favourite for Drumheller’s newest prehistoric friend.
John Shoff of the Dino Arts Committee said the mining dinosaur received several hundred votes in the committee’s online survey.
Residents had three dinosaurs to choose from: the mining dinosaur, a dinosaur pulling a hand plow, and an adult and baby dinosaur on a raft.
Shoff said the plan is to install the dinosaur around the end of May or early June.
The mining dinosaur replaces the crumbling and damaged fifty to sixty year old statue near Country Road R.V.
The Dino Arts Committee are the guardians and caretakers of Drumheller’s collection of dinosaurs.
The committee held it’s Annual General Meeting Tuesday February 25.
At the meeting, the committee added a couple of new board members, discussed what worked and didn’t work for their fund raising activities, and looked at further involvement and partnership with Dinofest.
