The small Canadian town of Vulcan has welcomed home the most famous Vulcan of all time, Leonard Nimoy known all around the world as Mr. Spock of the Star Trek series.

According to CSMonitor.com:

There is a model of the USS Enterprise space ship at the turnoff from the highway. Pictures of Spock as well as space scenes adorn buildings downtown. Town officials look for any opportunity to put on their uniforms and pointy ears.
The annual summer fair is known as Spock Days.
The town council had tried for years to attract Nimoy, who played the half-Vulcan, half-human first officer known for his logical solutions to crises facing Capt. James Kirk, played by William Shatner, and his crew.
Nimoy didn't stay long, but for Vulcan, the visit topped all. Locals called it "the Holy Grail moment."
