Hidy and Howdy
Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics | Character
Hidy and Howdy are polar bears, symbolic of the Arctic regions located in the north of the American continent. They wear Western-style hats and outfits. The mascots' names represent the Calgary region's hospitality. Thus “Hidy” is an extension of “hi”, and “Howdy” is short for “how do you do”, a typical western American greeting. Howdy and his sister, Hidy, were the first mascot couple.
