Employees and shoppers at Henry\u2019s Western Wear in Rocky Mountain House were starstruck Friday afternoon following an unexpected visit from an international superstar.<\/p>\n
The front door opened, and there stood award-winning, multiplatinum-selling American country artist Blake Shelton.<\/p>\n
Henry\u2019s Western Wear manager Mabel Mah says The Voice coach was extremely friendly and down-to-earth while visiting with fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wasn\u2019t fake or phony, he was great to talk to and has a great sense of humour,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Mah says Shelton stopped at the store to pick up some supplies before heading west on a hunting trip.<\/p>\n
She adds, while he was extremely friendly, he was also completely unassuming and would have happily completed his shopping trip without being recognized.<\/p>\n
As of Monday afternoon, a Facebook post from Henry\u2019s had received more than 1,200 likes.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a bad reminder that we\u2019re pretty lucky to call Rocky home,\u201d the post adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Employees and shoppers at Henry\u2019s Western Wear in Rocky Mountain House were starstruck Friday afternoon following an unexpected…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":913700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-913699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
