David Robertson loves a good laugh. Even if it is somewhat at his own expense.
Robertson has over 60 inflatable Minions on the front lawn of his Wagoners Trail home to help mark the holiday season.
It all started when David Robertson received a Minions toque with a Despicable Me 2 DVD in 2013. He picked up two inflatable Minions at Canadian Tire and the collection was launched.
People drive by. People walk by. A class of school children even came over to check out the display that takes three days to set up.
The Minions even have their own radio station, turn on 88.1 and you will hear the Minions singing Christmas carols. One of the Robertson’s neighbours made a sign with the radio station number on it.
“I mean, it was sort of a carry-on from Halloween,” said McCartney. “And then a week or two later, the Minions come up. The Halloween Minions go away. And Christmas comes out.”
“But in the last few years, yes, we've had more traffic. It's great,” said McCartney.
