Witness to the Greatest Tractor Parade in the World

Today, in my tiny hometown, we SQUASHED..... DEMOLISHED..... STOMPED ON... the Guiness World Record for longest Tractor Parade. The old Record was 601 tractors. Today, our parade, which lasted nearly 7 hours, had 1,231 tractors! They also raised over $106,000 for Cancer research! That's AMAZING! I stuck around to see the first 575 tractors (in 4 hours) before I had to leave. It was so much fun to see the farmers I knew get to be a part of history. It was also very nostalgic to see the different tractor brands, a couple of Massey Ferguson 135's like my Dad used to drive. What a memorable day!
