McMinnville, Oregon, Cart-Away Supply's Home Town, was the location of a famous UFO sighting in 1947. Now, each year to celebrate the sighting a two day festival called "Alien Daze" is held in downtown McMinnville. Each year, Cart-Away's great crew puts together a float and joins the parade. This year's theme was Cirque So Alien and had one trailer, surrounded by aliens with a large cage inside of which were imprisoned the last few humans on earth. This was following a cannon from which an alien was shot. The cannon, of course, was a Cart-Away Concrete Mix trailer, modified for the parade.
If anyone has more photos of the parade, email them to me at [email protected] and I will post a few here as a followup.
Below is my first attempt at a Youtube video:
Below is a shot of downtown McMinnville in the hour before the parade as the crowd started to gather.
