On May 10th hundreds of thousands of people turned out for the record-setting Art Car Parade in Houston. As many as 260 colorful vehicles drove into the signature art city. In her first appearance as the grand marshal Houston's mayor, Annise Parker, said "I love the Art Car Parade. It is an explosion of creativity and fun. It brings Houstonians of all types out. It's just a great day." In this year's parade there were over 100 new entries, including a tribute to Johnson Space Center's Mars Rover Curiosity. Some other unique looking vehicles included a truck with a giant spider on top of it and a toaster van. Since 1988, this vibrant and entertaining parade has offered the public a signature art extravaganza which they will never forget.
