HIGH FIVE! (Here’s a story)
In the heart of Alberta, where the Rocky Mountains stand tall and the city of Calgary bustles with life, a unique visitor arrived. The Penn State Nittany Lion, a symbol of strength and pride from Pennsylvania, had come to explore this vibrant Canadian city for the first time.
As the Nittany Lion trotted through the streets, it couldn’t help but notice the friendly faces and the warm smiles of the locals. It was a far cry from the familiar campus of Penn State, but there was a sense of excitement in the air that was contagious.
The Nittany Lion’s first stop was the Calgary Zoo, where it marveled at the diverse wildlife and learned about conservation efforts. The zoo’s Botanical Garden & Prehistoric Park was a sight to behold, with lush greenery and ancient creatures that seemed to whisper tales of a bygone era1.
Next, the Nittany Lion ventured to Prince’s Island Park, a serene oasis in the midst of the city. It watched as people jogged along the paths, children played on the playgrounds, and couples strolled hand in hand. The park’s beauty was undeniable, and it felt like a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life2.
But it wasn’t just about sightseeing for our furry friend. The Nittany Lion was also there for an important event—the Rotary Convention 2025. This gathering of minds and hearts from around the world was set to take place at Stampede Park from June 21-253. The Nittany Lion was eager to join in on the discussions and learn from the experiences shared by so many.
As the convention kicked off, the Nittany Lion found itself surrounded by stories of innovation, community service, and global cooperation. It was inspired by the passion and dedication of each attendee, who came together to make a difference in their communities.
The days passed quickly, filled with new friendships and unforgettable moments. The Nittany Lion even participated in a friendly game of soccer with some local kids, showcasing its agility and teamwork.
As its visit came to an end, the Nittany Lion reflected on its time in Calgary. It had seen wonders it never imagined, met people who touched its heart, and experienced a sense of belonging in this new place.
With a promise to return one day, the Penn State Nittany Lion bid farewell to Calgary, carrying with it memories that would last a lifetime.
