2012 Princeton WV Christmas Parade
Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2012 9:30 am
Thought I'd share a few pictures with ya'll of my '51 "M" in our local parade. I didn't take any myself, but have seen a pile of pics of it pop up in local media. I was following one late styled JD "B", one early styled JD "B" and one Super 77 Oliver, all from the local tractor pull club. Not all of there's are restored, and none of them have lights. Just seems to be something about a red tractor that the crowd loves. My Dad and Mom brought my 90 year old grandmother and let her sit in the car and watch me drive by, her and all the little kids made it worthwhile...
My now retired kindergarten teacher took this one of me coming through town. She's always at every parade, I'm always sure to watch for her as she calls out to me. My class was her first back in '72...she retired last year.
The local paper always "catches" me doing what they call "tractor doughnuts" at the main intersection in downtown. It's wide right there, so in every parade at Christmas or Veterans Day I always spin her around on one wheel a couple times...the crowd goes nuts.
