Country music star Blake Shelton made an unannounced visit to Henry's Western Wear in Rocky Mountain House on Friday afternoon, surprising employees and shoppers at the store.
Store manager Mabel Mah said Shelton stopped in to pick up supplies while heading west on a hunting trip. She described the multiplatinum-selling artist and Voice coach as friendly, down-to-earth and quick with a sense of humour during his time in the store.
Mah added that despite his fame, Shelton was unassuming and seemed content to complete his shopping without being recognized. A Facebook post from Henry's Western Wear about the visit had drawn more than 1,200 likes by Monday afternoon, with the store noting it was a reminder of the community's good fortune in calling Rocky Mountain House home.
