Tractor Parade


Fall was in the air on the historic Hayesville, NC townsquare on Saturday, September 27, 2014 for the eighth annual Tractor Parade.


Mrs. Linda Davis wore her overalls and dressed up for the fall festival and Tractor Parade.


This little girl is enjoying "driving" the tractor on the old courthouse lawn.


Children had fun climbing the tower of hay and jumping in the toe sack race.


This little boy loves to pet the pony.


Mr. Billy Goat let everyone know he was at the Tractor Parade with his bleating.


Mr. Jimmy Anderson rides his bright red tractor in the parade.







Mr. Bill Cody drives this tractor with his family riding on the float.



Mr. Rogers drives his older model tractor.



Melvin Cantrell and his dog are enjoying the Tractor Parade.


Rev. Davenport participates in the Tractor Parade.


Mr. Lowe with the Lowe's Body Shop takes part in the Tractor Parade each year.


It was a clear day with the beautiful mountains forming a backdrop on the Hayesville townsquare.


This tractor captured the patriotic spirit in the Tractor Parade with the historical courthouse towering in the background.  It was a great day for a parade.

Hayesville has such a pretty square with the courthouse as an anchor. Looks like a great time was had by all.

The farmer would love to attend a parade where old tractors were on display! I can imagine how much fun everyone had.

I love tractors, except maybe when we get behind them on the road - which happens a lot around here. It looks like a really fun event.

anyone who has ever had time on a farm - whether living there, working, or visiting - i think, has a romantic pull for an old tractor. :)

I love a town that is still country enough to enjoy the important things in life. To me tractors mean food on the table as do the animals. Loved see the photos. Hope you are enjoying this wonderful fall season.
Have a great week!
