More Aliens

Here is the second video of the Cart-Away and Cart-Away Supply floats at the Alien Daze Parade on May 17, 2008.  After the overwhelming response to the first video (19 views in only 12 hours), I thought I better put this one up as well.  Who knows, it might go viral and we might have 25 or even 30 people view it.

Also, while I'm at it, I might as well show the only other picture I took of the crowd before the parade started.

Back to landscaping and hardscaping a little later in the week.  Thanks for indulging with us on this little bit of fun.

Alien Daze Parade

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:
