These are not the 'droids you're after...It's Rose Festival time here in Oregon, and that means a plethora of activities, including several parades. One of the most fun parades is the Starlight Parade because it's less formal, much more playful, and it's at night. Tens of thousands line the streets to watch. I attended this year's Starlight Parade last Friday. Here, a Storm Trooper let's us have it. Portland, Oregon; May, 2009.
