“Shit, what one thing!” Full of enthusiasm, Johan Vlemmix peeks through a sail in the construction shed by the neighborhood of Laer-Akkermolen from Zundert. Behind it is the headpiece of ‘Visitors’, as their parade car is called. The UFO that comes on top will be given a place at Johan’s UFO Museum in Hoeven after the parade. He hopes for an alien trip.

With might, dahlias are tapped in the construction shed of the neighborhood of Laer-Akkermolen, to be ready for the Corso in Zundert on time. A UFO is on top of their car. He floats across the top of the car on Sunday, explains designer Steven van Erck. “Through his draw rays, are beamslet it float parts of our car. “For example, a grazing cow of flowers flies into the air on Sunday.

Normally the car is traditionally taken apart on the Tuesday after the parade, also called minced day. But the UFO gets a second life thanks to Johan. “That this year a part of us will be in Hoeven in the former observatory, we are very happy with that,” says Steven. Johan has his own UFO museum there.

Incidentally, it is not the first time that a Corso car has had a second life. Last year the steel construction from the Poteind neighborhood, which built a car full of colorful flowers in a meter-high gold-colored conservatory, received a place in a memorial forest in Klein Zundert.
