If there's one thing Albertans do even better than huge trucks and grain elevators, it's making massive monuments for little places. Follow Tamarra Canu on her summer Albertan road trip as she travels her province to find out what these big things meant to the small towns that call them home.
Big Things Small Towns visits during the town's annual honeyfest, and in addition to the seeing the giant bee, checks out hives at a local famous apiary. Tamarra also walks into a cage of 30,000 bees to participate in their annual bee beard tradition — something locals don't dare try. Blue skies, wheat fields and honeybees: that's the buzz in Falher.
On Big Things Small Towns we visit six of Alberta's most legendary locations:
- Drumheller! The World's Largest Dinosaur takes you back to prehistoric times. Plus, you can see how it and many other dinos are made.
- Falher! You'll celebrate the World's Largest Bee in more ways than one (including witnessing Tamarra facing one of her biggest fears by participating in their annual bee beard spectacle.
- Vegreville! You'll find out why the World's Largest Pysanka (or painted egg) is truly unique from creation to design.
- Glendon! Tamarra's headed to take a bite out of its world-famous perogy and discover how the monument may have saved the town itself.
- Donalda! The World's Largest Oil Lamp has been lighting the way for tourists to discover the beauty within the walls of the town.
- Medicine Hat! This town celebrates Indigenous art and identity with the spectacular Saamis Tepee that celebrates culture, history and the legacy of the Edmonton Olympics.

This may be the largest collection of lamps in the world
On this episode of Big Things Small Towns, Tamarra heads to Donalda, Alberta, one of the prairies best kept secrets but perhaps not for long.

Donalda, Alta. is full of colour and culture despite it's shrinking population. We meet with the original lamp committee and hear why the creation of an oil lamp gave its citizens purpose and faith that kept the town alive for generations to come.
All across small town Alberta, these objects are lighting the way for tourists and citizens alike to come appreciate life on the prairies... even if only for a moment to see the breathtaking view the giant lamp provides of the edge of Alberta's badlands.
About Big Things Small Towns
At one time, the largest things spreading across the Canadian prairies were grain elevators and Ukrainian church domes, but in the 1990s, citizens of small towns began building their own roadside giants. Some relevant to the times, some questionably random and some still popping up today.

How a giant perogy saved this small town
In this episode of Big Things Small Towns, Tamarra Canu visits Glendon, Alberta and hears all about the huge perogy that kept the town alive.

It's one of Alberta's strangest objects, made with love by citizens committed to their town's existence and serious dedication from their former mayor of nearly 40 years. What was happening to our town is it was dying, so we had to come up with something out of the ordinary to have people come in, says former mayor Johnnie Doonanco, who even submitted the Glendon Perogy to be on the back of the toonie when the $2 bill was eliminated.

This Tepee was an engineering challenge to rival the Eiffel Tower
Standing 65 metres tall and made of 200 metric tonnes of steel, the massive structure tells vital stories inside, featuring 10 painted storyboards by Indigenous artists.

In this episode of Big Things Small Towns, Tamarra revisits a giant landmark that left quite an impact on her as a child and it's just as impressive and towering to her today, even though she's grown a bit since then: Medicine Hat's massive Sammis Tepee. Sammis in Sammis Tepee comes from the Blackfoot word for medicine and was originally constructed for the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary. Because of the structure's unique stress points, building the tepee was no simple task. It ended up being a greater engineering challenge than the Eiffel Tower! Its final form now is completely different than what it originally looked like at the Olympics — just the two main trusses remain, and the rest was all engineered and manufactured in Medicine Hat.
