Annual UFO Celebration

I was a bit bummed.  I so look forward each year to our little evening of craziness when we hold a not so well organized UFO celebration each year.  It is not large, perhaps only 300 or so as an average show up, but it is a time full of fun and laughs!  And it rained.

This year the day was heavy rain.  It would stop occasionally, but over all it was a constant heavy rain.  Sigh.

The plan was the fun would start with a helicopter flying in a UFO and landing it on the roof of one of the little bars in Old Town.  Then there would lasers and when a beam hit a coffin in the street, Spock would hop out and a flash dance would kick off with dancers dressed as Star Trek members.  (Non in RED of course!  LOL)  Partying and a film festival of local artists creations to follow.

Well, the helicopter could not fly in the soup God provided.  So, a blow up saucer was hung on the edge of the roof.  The rain stopped: lasers, coffin, dancing and a little of the film festival went off well but then BLAM! - time to build and ark or wish that the saucer was real and would take all away!
