Massive chocolate bull on display at Calgary Airport

You have heard of the expression 'a whole load of bull' but I'll bet you never quite imagined it like this. Recently an 880-pound near life size chocolate bull has gone on display at Calgary’s International Airport.

Created by the much vaunted Calgary-based Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut, the bull was made to honour the the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede, the annual world famous 10-day rodeo and entertainment extravaganza which runs this year through to July 15th.

Every year about 400,000 rodeo fans visit Calgary specifically for the event of which around 40,000 are thought to be from the United States. To get into the spirit of things Calgary International Airport is decorated with hay bales, fences and painted windows, as well as schedules contests, sidewalk sales and entertainment.

The chocolate bull is new a new addition this year, but is hoped to be a regular feature in years to come.

'We are hoping to shellac it and keep it for future stampede decorations' said Jody Moseley, director of corporate communications and marketing for the Calgary Airport Authority.

'It’s beautiful, chocolate art'.
