Village of Cereal, Alberta

Reason for Building:

It is a symbol of the town?

Additional Information:

This is the third statue. The original antelope was constructed in 1978, possibly by Tig Seland . It was replaced twice, once in 1989 and the current one in 1993.

Here is a couple more pictures of the Antelope, one with me and the other taken in the summer by Allan Rose:
