(MCMINNVILLE) - The McMinnville, Oregon community once again welcome all UFO believers, aliens, skeptics and the like for the annual UFO parade and UFO Fest. The UFO Parade will make its annual trek down Third Street on Saturday the 20th.

The McMinnville Downtown Associations Cyndi Fusek says the event will be a real blast, "Celebrate with us this year as we welcome Mr. Mac High, Cameron Schmidt, and fellow contestants as Grand Marshall`s of the parade! We have two marching bands from McMenamins, the McMenamins Marching band and the Hammerheads with March Forth, beginning and ending the parade."

She says Vivid Curve, a didgeridoo band out of Portland will help children in creating their very own instruments � and then bring all down to march in the parade. The Klingon`s from Salem`s Star Trek Club will make an appearance, and Columbus Elementary will entertain the crowds with twelve unicyclists.

Fusek says Noel Martin will provide several of his antique cars for the parade stars. "These are just a few of the 24 entries that we have so far for the UFO Parade."

The parade will be run in conjunction with McMenamins Hotel Oregon two-day UFO Fest that begins the evening of Friday the 19th and runs through the 20th. Visit the McMenamins UFO website at www.ufofest.com for the complete list of events.
