The parade, now in its 25th year, gave art car-lovers a rare chanceto view more than 300 cars of every shape and design imaginable,from a giant Radio Flyer wagon, a rolling banana, to a giant metaldragon. Parade entries include anything on wheels from unicycles,lawnmowers, to cars and go-carts. Participants are communitygroups, public and private schools, professional organizations, aswell as individuals. "The Houston Art Car Parade captures theessence of Houston's eclectic and fun culture,"said Houston MayorAnnise Parker. "It is among my favorite events and one of the mostunique treasures our great city offer." Kerri Kepler, who built her miniature ship out of a shopping cart,said her art car was "a super fun project to work on." The paradeday "is probably my most favorite day of the entire year," shesaid. The Earth, Wind and Fire car was built by art students at a localhigh school in collaboration with the robotics class. Participants were not only enjoying the process of transforming anordinary car into a great peace of art, they also wereparticipating to deliver the message that art is an integral partof everyday life. For the spectators, they were taking a day off from their busy workas well as sharing the fun of the art cars made out of theircreators' limitless imagination. A mother who took her two children to the parade said though theyhave lived in the city for years, it's the first time for them toview the parade, because she is always very busy and have too manythings to do. "I think it's big fun today. I have not expected so many cars. It'sa surprise to me," she said. For her two kids, she said the paradeis good experience for the children's imagination. The children'sfavorite entry is the giant metal dragon which rolled down thestreets as the last car of the parade.
