Parade

Armadillo.800w_600h

Houston’s 24th annual Art Car Parade took place yesterday afternoon along Allen Parkway.  It featured big armadillos, like the one above, and small ones, too.

This year’s selection even included an RV (of sorts)

Built by Brent Scott of Magnolia, it features a wood-burning stove, and was created out of scrap wood and sheet metal – stuff rescued from junk piles – on an old Army deuce-and-a-half truck.

Sponsored by the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, the parade has become a Houston tradition.  If there are any rules, they are mainly ignored, with participants not only in cars, but on bicycles and roller skates.  If there is such a thing as a typical entry, it would be something like this:
