@HisSheepMI Vulcan is alive and kicking! Worth the visit, wouldn't you say?

@HisSheepMI I've never been as far away as Alberta. It definitely sounds like a cool place to visit. In fact, I think it safe to say it would be illogical to go so far and not visit Vulcan! :D

@HisSheepMI Couldn't agree more!

Congratulations Dayna! Without tons of your hard work, none of that would have happened.

@dougdela We'll pass your note to Dayna with Vulcan Tourism.

It makes me tear up to think that there's an entire town where people are trekkies <3

I think Leonard is such an excellent sport, he is so gracious and doesn't let all the love his fans have for him go to his head. He's not a diva like some other stars could be, and he is so touched by his fans. He's truly an inspiration!
