Serving up POP HISTORY & other McFun!âŠ
(Mmmm, yummy bite-sized pieces.)
Wild Horse Hank with Exorcist star Linda Blair (1979) 
- shot in & around the Crowsnest Pass of Alberta. A TV production, it follows her adventures as she works to save a herd of feral horses.
They're due to be made into dog food, unless she can get them to a federal reserve where theyâll be protected. It's a perilous multi-day journey crossing mountains & deserts, all the while being pursued by poachers. The very last step is to get them across the section of road seen here, along a now closed section of Crowsnest Highway.
It's a minor scene, but we still love searching out these locations & doing comparisons. Important or not, it's a thrill.
We know a lot of locals worked as extras on the picture & we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks from Chris & Connie!

Beer Parlour Project Friday
: Scenes from the Limerick Hotel (Limerick SK), visited by the Beer Parlour Project in the summer of 2024. Learn more: https://www.beerparlourproject.com/limerick-hotel-limerick-saskatchewan/
The hotel was built as the Delaney in 1914 & hasn't really changed in appearance. The top floor was blanked off decades ago as surplus to the needs, but otherwise it looks much as it did.
That's owners Sandy & Doug & please stop by when in the area. You won't regret visiting - the food is amazing. There's a lot of places that claim to have the best steak & the Limerick Hotel is a serious contender.

Beer Parlour Project Friday: It's 5 o'clock somewhere, except here at the Trails End Hotel. This old watering hole has been closed for a while now (Wood Mountain SK).
The Trails End Hotel was a second home for Saskatchewan poet Andrew Suknaski & makes mention in his book, Wood Mountain Poems (1976). "Johnny will be drinking beer in Wood Mountain's Trails End..."
Andrew & the Trails End Beer Parlour also appear in this NFB film from that era...
