Although there was no ziggy stardust, the Red Cross made an outerworldly impression at the Starlight Parade this Saturday. The event, which usually attracts over 250,000 people, took place on June 5th in downtown Portland. Illuminating the streets with music, colorful lights and larger-than-life floats, this parade features community groups from all over the Northwest.

Because anything could happen in the future, the Red Cross featured a theme of far-off futuristic preparedness in our float entry, complete with a UFO and space suits!
